My Project

Several students at my Title I school suffer from anxiety on a given day. Many of them face challenges before they even enter the school building.

These relaxation items will be in my "therapy bag" and are accessible for the students who visit me in the Counseling suite.

My goal is to be able to provide students with a relaxing and calm environment in the Counseling suite and to allow them to take an items/or items from the therapy bag that can help relax, recenter and then return to their classroom.
