My Project

I work with a lot of students who have experienced trauma and loss in their lives. They come to me to release their most darkest stories and I’d love to provide them with a comfortable spot to do that other than hard plastic chairs.

I see many students daily who just need a space to vent and be heard.

They come to me for a silent break away from the stresses of class or to divulge in their stresses and home lives that drain on them.

I can’t tell you what a little comfort would mean to them. Thank you for considering helping my students mental health!
