Using American School Counselor Association standards for our counseling department, the fidget toys, pop-its, stress balls, candy and pillows are all SEL tools our counseling department could use to assist our caseloads. Allowing students something to hug or eat or play with during counseling has been proven to assist in students' ability to open up. These items will help our department have a better and more comprehensive school counseling program. The iPod Touch will be used to bring enjoyment into the school lives of our students. We would love to be able to play music in the cafeteria during lunch to help give some fun to the school day. The office chair would be used as another flexible seating option in our office. Currently, with only student desk chairs available for students to sit on, they are unable to get the relaxation part of being able to comfortably talk to someone and work through the stress they have endured from the pandemic. We need items to help deescalate angry or upset students in our offices. We want them to use these tools as often as possible. Students will be able to have: B-SMS 2. Self-discipline and self-control B-SMS 6. Ability to identify and overcome barriers B-SMS 7. Effective coping skills
