Journey to Wellness: Innovative Projects for Mental Health Awareness
Help me give my students the resources to create a Mental Health Project. Students will explore mental health through a multifaceted hands-on activity using diverse materials. This project emphasizes the importance of mental health awareness, creativity, and expression.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nowak's classroom raised $977
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
The project will use creative activities to enhance well-being by having students integrating engineering skills and personal expression into each component emphasizing on the importance of mental health.
Students will craft a vibrant collection of projects that shine a light on mental health and build a supportive school community.
Students will design and construct a basswood maze symbolizing the journey through mental health challenges, encouraging problem-solving, perseverance, and teamwork. They will also design and cut acrylic tags with a laser cutter to represent mental health themes such as support, resilience, and self-care. Additionally, using heat transfer vinyl, students will create personalized messages with motivational quotes or affirmations to promote positive mental health practices.
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
