I am a school psychologist in a high school serving students who benefit from mental health services. They come to school every day and walk the halls holding so many difficulties and are looking for someone who they can trust and feel comfortable with to talk to. My role is to provide an open and comfortable space for these students to feel that they are able to discuss their difficulties and assist them in overcoming their emotional obstacles.
My Project
As we enter into a hybrid distance learning model due to Covid 19, students need the best resources to assist them in being successful both academically and social-emotionally. My project will provide me with many tools and workbooks that can assist my students. These workbooks can be used directly by students. These workbooks include activities and strategies for students to use that can decrease their levels of anxiety and distress. I will be able to pick and choose workbook pages that my students can use to identify their emotions and use appropriate coping strategies.
During this time, students are experiencing a heightened level of anxiety and overwhelming emotions.
