Tools for Tomorrow: Equipping a School Counselor

Help me give my students a safe space to take a break and get one-on-one support to empower them to reach their fullest potential.

My Project

As I'm still a newer school counselor I am working towards growing my materials and resources that go beyond meeting the basic needs of my students. Providing a diverse range of materials can significantly enhance students' learning experiences and overall well-being. My goal for this project is to improve upon the space and materials I have to create a welcoming and supportive environment.

With the right materials, I can create a more engaging and supportive environment, promoting resilience, improving focus, and ultimately shaping a more positive and productive learning atmosphere for my students.

In a world that has our youth growing up at a faster rate than ever before, I want to be able to provide a space that allows them to be a kid. I want them to be free to feel whatever emotions they have, to escape the expectations of others, to exist without the pressure to fit in, to talk about the uncomfortable stuff, and to have a space that is entirely dedicated to them.
