In an effort to promote positive mental health and prepare for the increasing wave of mental health needs in my students, I am interested in creating a safe place for my students when they are emotionally triggered. I need positive sayings accents, coloring books and fidgets. This looks like a relaxation room where students can explore various sensory items that assist in calming down and expressing their feelings in a safe and appropriate manner. In addition, I am interested in creating different spaces around our school campus where students can engage in mindfulness activities such as brain breaks with movement to improve mood and ability to focus in class. Our school counselors want to encourage teachers to incorporate mindfulness into their classrooms by allowing teachers to sign up for counselor led meditation, yoga, and brain break activities. Research has found that good mental health is critical to student success in school and life. Also, students who receive social–emotional and mental health support achieve better academically. With mental health support, school climate, classroom behavior, on-task learning, and students’ sense of connectedness can all improve as well. I believe your support for my students will ultimately provide a foundation for meaningful improvements to our school culture and help in destigmatizing mental health in our community.
