Healing the Whole Self

Help me give my students the random necessities that get us through the day, including socio-emotional support with weighted stress animals and bandages to heal physical wounds; these gifts will heal our bad days.

Mrs. Martin Pike High School

Indianapolis, IN Grades 9-12

My Project

My room has become a hub for all problems. Emotional breakdowns, surprise periods, to fresh paper-cuts. I post information on free medicine, vaccines, food supplies, and clinics. Day to day, my own students, and students who just need a friendly face to turn to, come into my classroom seeking help.

The clips will hold important information for student resources including mental health, food, medicine, graduation requirements as well as job opportunities.

The weighted animals will serve as a soothing element to students in the midst of a breakdown or panic attack. The bandages will be easy to access so students don't waste valuable class time running to the nurse. Collectively, these are tools for healing and moving forward in the day!
