My Project

As a Title I school, many of our students have experienced trauma that affects their behavior, emotional regulation, and ability to access learning. challenges often show up as difficulty staying focused, managing emotions, or interacting positively with peers and adults.

This project provides essential resources designed to support trauma-based behavior needs through structured routines, calming tools, and social-emotional learning supports.

materials will help students practice coping strategies, reduce behavioral disruptions, and increase time spent engaged in meaningful instruction.

Your support will directly help students build resilience, improve behavior, and develop the skills needed to succeed in school and beyond.
