As the school social worker, I provide support to students and their families in the school and community. At school, students come to me to talk about their feelings and concerns and I lead groups to support social skills and emotional development. My goal is to be able to provide a safe space for students to use to feel calm and secure when talking about challenging subject matter. I have found that the room and environment directly impact how comfortable a student is with sharing thoughts and feelings, and hope to provide that to my students, who range in age from 5-11. Calming and regulating activities and manipulatives encourage slow breathing and focus, which can help students calm down when upset and be more trusting of the others around them.
