My Project

The dean’s office works closely with our social worker to mediate, center student needs, and respond appropriately to individual circumstances. A major part of our work is responding to students’ emotional responses, whether related to school, friendships, or outside influences. We strive to provide students with tools to self-regulate, reflect, and build skills they need to navigate conflict and adversity. These materials will help to de-escalate and practice regulation. These tools help us work from the idea that all behavior is communication! Help us provide fidgets, games, de-stressors and more to our students!
