My Project

I work with a special group of students who impress me daily with their ability to love life despite their challenges with either mental illness or trauma. My student population has some trauma that they do not like to talk about. All children benefit through play, as they can express their feelings and events through play. These figures will help them to express themselves in a safe way. I am asking for this multi-ethnic family set to have available for discussion points on family dynamics, empathy, and to help establish meaningful connection with my students. This particular set is perfect for our needs as it has the ability to represent all types of families.
