Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My students are a very diverse group that has previously had trouble succeeding in a traditional school setting. The majority of my students have significant trauma, unstable living situations, and inefficient coping strategies that have led to poor attendance and behavioral issues in the past. Regardless of their personal struggles, they continue to persevere.
Some of my students work full-time jobs, some have children, and some have to support themselves and other family members.
Many of my students live with chronic stress and have for many years. Through it all, they have stayed committed to their education and still believe they can improve their quality of life through education. These students are very much in need of resources and support from our behavioral health team.
My Project
My goal for this room is to create a space where students can feel comfortable in individual and group therapy sessions. Comfortable settings and seating like bar stools or bean bags play a big part in having people feel relaxed and being receptive to therapeutic interventions.
My next goal is to have space equipped for students to work on a 16 session group psychotherapy program called SPARCS.
SPARCS stands for Structured Psychotherapy for Adolescents Responding to Chronic Stress and the need for this program is great.
Having a charging station and appropriate cords can help the students with charging computers, tablets, or any other technology we may choose to use for their activities.
