I am a school psychologist providing counseling services and support for students placed in a special class who experience mental health concerns and have had traumatic experiences. These students have been placed in these classrooms because their behaviors and emotional needs are too high for a regular classroom setting. The students have been through difficult traumatic events including abuse, neglect, sexual abuse, self-harm and many changes to regular life routines. These students are triggered easily by the stimuli in their enviornments. Schools can be loud, bright and overstimulating and these particular students needs a calm, trauma sensitive location to retreat and work on their emotion regulation. right now the space has bright fluorescent lights, no soft seating and limited therapy tools for calming and working out tough thoughts. I need to create an atmosphere of safety, trust and calm. Thank you for your consideration.
