My Project

When students come to my office they sit in sterile, uncomfortable chairs; this needs to change. I want them to feel an inviting atmosphere where they feel a bit at home. I can physically see a change in students when they feel welcome and safe. They are apt to have less anxiety and feel more welcome in an environment that may mimic their home with a comfortable chair.

My goal to is to work with students who suffer from anxiety/depression and provide them with a welcoming and safe environment.

My office feels a bit like a prison visiting room and I really want my students to relax and feel wanted.

Ms. Custred will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by August 1.
