Helping Break Trauma

Help me give my students a warm and inviting space when they are emotionally dysregulated.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. A's classroom raised $639

This project is fully funded

My Project

An inviting space helps play a role in helping with emotional dysregulation. It creates a calm space that helps students feel safe and supported. Most of my students are some form are impacted by a background that often includes trauma to varying degrees, which leads to a feeling of being unsafe or unwanted. Helping provide for my classroom helps my students feel like they have a space that belongs to them.

The students that I work with lack the funds and resources to equip themselves with the basic needs to be successful in the classroom.
