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

What I love most about my clients is their incredible resilience, openness, and determination to grow emotionally, even in the face of adversity. Each child brings their own unique story, and it’s a privilege to support them on their journey. Their honesty, creativity, and courage inspire me every day.

Social-emotional books are powerful tools that help my clients better understand themselves and others.

These resources teach important skills such as identifying feelings, managing emotions, building empathy, and resolving conflicts in healthy ways. With each book, they will gain new strategies and confidence to navigate their world, making a real difference in their healing and development
