The Zen Den was born out of the school's newly implemented mental health program, Sources of Strength. Students and staff recognize that students need a safe space to go to during the school day if they start to feel overwhelmed or anxious. The Washington Post recently published an article about the mental health issues facing schools, stating that "Emerging research is finding that students in “high-achieving schools”—public and private schools with high standardized test scores, varied extracurricular and academic offerings, and graduates who head off to top colleges—are experiencing higher rates of behavioral and mental health problems compared with national norms." To create a comfortable and calming space for students, the Zen Den will need soft lighting, stress balls, plants, and comfortable seating. All of these proven stress-relieving items will help create a relaxing space for students when they need a place to go to self-regulate their emotions and catch their breath. Students can visit the Zen Den, located in the Student Services office, for 15 to 20 minutes and, if they need additional help, they can talk to their counselor.
