My Students

My students are amazing, resilient, hilarious, joyful and playful learners. As a school social worker, I work with a population of students who are transitioning from a day treatment environment to the mainstream. I support these students by helping them practice emotional identification and identifying and using beneficial coping skills.

Many of the students on my caseload have experienced some trauma, homelessness, food insecurity and more.

Even through all this adversity, they show up smiling and thankful to be spending time with their teachers and friends.

My Project

These regulation and learning tools will help my students in the school setting. They will help my students practice regulating emotions, self-advocating, taking safe breaks, and social skills with peers. The skills that students learn from these tools will hopefully carry over into the home environment with practice and reinforcement.

These tools will help add to the fun and inviting environment of my office.

Through reading and hands on activities, my students will have many opportunities to discuss and practice skills that will benefit them in school, at home and in the community environment.
