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

We will be creating 6 Boxes of Hope that our LMW Crisis Team will compile and create in a time of crisis. The LMW Crisis Team is made up of social workers, behavioral health specialists, and clinical psychologists who will show up to any schools in a time of serious loss, grief, or crisis. These Boxes of Hope will have various activities and prompts to help the processing for all ages of students for those who may need more support than others. These boxes will be pre-created, so that the Crisis Team can grab one for each school and arrive as soon as possible to attend to the students' (and staff) needs.
