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
Help me with materials and books to help my students process trauma and grief! As the therapist at my high school, I see a lot of traumatized students and helping them process their grief and trauma through the use of art projects, somatics and other creative means have proven to be the most effective.
I work at a Title One High School and service at-promise kids from low socio-economic status.
The majority of the student population are students of color. These materials will help me to help them with these crucial coping skills and processing.
Nearly all 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
