Mental health impacts a student's ability to learn. With the pandemic, we saw an increase in students experiencing anxiety and depression, and in need of mental health support during the school day. The NESTT will provide a safe space for students to report and receive mental health support and learn skills and strategies to help deescalate strong emotions. The mindfulness tools and other resources being requested would allow for students to return to class in a better state for learning, but also be able to apply strategies in future moments of distress. These skills will not only positively impact student academic achievement, but the quality of life. The items being requested create a welcoming space, as well as helps manage symptoms of anxiety and depression such as restlessness, shortness of breath, excessive worry or fear, or somatic symptoms. The fidget toys, mindfulness tools, and other items listed will partner with the Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) that will be provided through the trained staff working in The NESTT. DBT focuses on mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation.
