My Project
The Care Bears were conceptualized to help people express emotions. So, each original bear was named for the feeling it represented. According to research from the IWES, New Orleans students show symptoms of PTSD at a rate nearly four times the national average. Trauma confronts students in New Orleans in different ways - chronic bullying, abuse in the home, or violence in the community, to name a few. Studies have shown that frequent exposure to trauma affects healthy student brain development, particularly in areas responsible for memory and emotions. This can result in lifelong learning difficulties and problem behaviors in the classroom. Hugging a Care Bear often helps to squeeze out negative emotions and replace them with the comforts of sensory touch. We want to continue investing resources in healing our students.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
