Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

Creating a welcoming and inviting office environment is essential for helping middle school students feel comfortable as they navigate their mental health needs. Cozy chairs and a soft rug provide a sense of physical comfort and security, helping students feel at ease when discussing sensitive topics.

A thoughtfully designed space fosters openness, making it easier for middle schoolers to express their feelings, process emotions and engage in meaningful conversations that support their wellbeing.

Social emotional learning (SEL) materials help them develop self-awareness, emotional regulation and coping skills to manage stress and peer relationships "This is a safe space" posters reinforce inclusivity, trust, and nonjudgmental support reminding students they are accepted as they are.
