The books chosen will greatly aid in teaching students about character, social skills, problem solving and effective communication in my counseling program. The games will foster collaboration, further social skills, while learning about emotions and emotional regulation. The students I serve come from homes without books and games and the parents look to the school as an escape for their children from the daily reminder of what they lack. It is not only an escape, but a perfect time to educate, establishing healthy habits, while building resiliency and better mental health. The games will be modified to teach students about emotions, emotional regulation and how to deal with bullying, anger, sadness, other mental health issues. The games and manipulatives will be used during counseling sessions to help the student(s) feel comfortable in my office and at ease to open up and talk about their problems. This is my first year as a counselor and the school I service has very little funds. Everything I have, I have had to purchase. These materials would greatly help this low-income and migrant community.
