My Project
My students will benefit from participating in some creative self-care activities. In our self-care group, my students learn the skills and strategies to deal with setbacks, strengthen their coping mechanisms, learn how to overcome challenges, be resilient, and remain focused on accomplishing their post-secondary goals and aspirations.
My students will utilize their creativity by designing essential oil candles and jars of body butter.
Research indicates that essential oils improve moods, improve sleep, and can help reduce anxiety. Anxiety is toxic to our bodies and brains and can lead to emotional problems.
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
