My Project

When students' basic needs are met, they can begin to work on improving other aspects of their lives. That is why it is important to provide snacks and physical coping tools in counseling.

The mental health workbooks, snacks, and coping tools will help students focus on improving their mental health.

Specifically, the mental health workbooks will be used to provide evidence-based, therapeutic treatment to students struggling with mental health concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, and more. Snacks will be used by students to meet their basic daily needs if they have not gotten enough to eat that day. The Zen Garden, mood flip book, and aroma diffuser will be used as cognitive, sensory, and physiological coping skills that help students to regulate themselves as they communicate difficult thoughts and emotions.
