Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

What I love most about my clients is their incredible resilience and willingness to engage in their mental health journeys. Each one brings a unique perspective shaped by their experiences, and it's inspiring to see how they embrace challenges in their lives. I admire their courage to explore difficult emotions, and I cherish the moments when they articulate their feelings and connect with each other.

The resources I’m requesting—books focused on emotional awareness, coping strategies, and imaginative storytelling—will be transformative for their learning.

Books on Emotional Awareness will help my clients recognize and name their feelings, fostering self-awareness and enabling them to articulate their experiences more effectively.

Coping Strategy Books provide practical tools presented in relatable narratives, allowing clients to learn techniques for managing anxiety and frustration through characters they can empathize with. Lastly, the Imaginative Storybooks promote creativity, offering a playful escape that encourages self-expression. These stories can help clients envision different outcomes to their struggles while providing a safe space to explore emotions.

My goals for "Turning Pages to Healing" are to nurture a supportive environment where clients can learn various coping techniques through literature, enhance their communication skills, and build resilience. Ultimately, I aim to make reading an integral part of their therapeutic process.

What makes my clients special is their innate curiosity and bravery. They are eager to understand themselves better, often surprising me with their insights and reflections. Each child is a unique individual with boundless potential, and by providing them with the right resources, I believe we can unlock their pathways to healing and growth together.
