About my class

The donation will help me provide experiential therapeutic activities such as painting (Chalkola acrylics and Dr. Ph. Martin's watercolors) by using brushes, canvases and papers to help the students get deeper into their emotions and process feelings non-verbally through art. The affirmation/meditation cards (CBT, DBT & ACT card decks, Empathy cards, Motivation quotes, conversation cubes) are resources that I begin and end every therapy session with. My students know that they have a safe, supportive environment that they can come to when they are feeling overwhelmed, overworked and/or unheard. The donation will help me with resources and activities, therapeutic interventions, treatment planning (Treatment Plans and Interventions for Depression and Anxiety Disorders) and resources to manage anxiety (The CBT Workbook for Mental Health: Evidence-Based Exercises to Transform Negative Thoughts and Manage Your Well-Being), depression (CBT Toolbox for Children & Adolescents: Over 200 Worksheets & Exercises for Trauma), ADHD (Attachment Theory in Practice: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) with Individuals, Couples, and Families), Autism, Anxiety, Depression & Conduct Disorders), Autism, Trauma (Trauma Informed Practices with Children & Adolescents) and a variety of other struggles that they are facing on a daily basis and with their families. (The Family Therapy Workbook: 96 Guided Interventions To Help Families Connect, Cope, and Heal) (The Power of Showing Up: How Parental Presence Shapes Who Our Kids Become and How Their Brains Get Wired) (The Intentional Family: Simple Rituals to Strengthen Family). The donation will enable me to use the Cricut smart vinyls to create projects for the student's personal binders and flasks. The CBT card game will help my students process the struggles. The "Happy Journals" will be used with journaling prompts. The stamps and stamp pads will be used to in group social skill building groups with autistic teens to make cards for friends.
