My Project

As a 26 plus year educator, I can tell you that educational structures are becoming increasingly more challenging. As society changes so has the need for us to address more sensitive subjects. Topics about being unkind or not a good friend have been replaced with much deeper conversations.

As a professional school counselor, it is my duty to be able to assist students with navigating through these topics but I must admit, the situations our students face has changed since I started counseling.

The books in this series are filled with real life situations and strategies to help support our middle schoolers. The use of these books while help students to better understand the feelings surrounding tough topics
