My Project

Please help me build my therapuetic office, where I will be providing a safe and calming space for my elementary students. My goal is to help my students overcome challenges and empower them to stay calm and ready to learn. These pychotherapuetic games and board games will allow my students to calm themselves down when dealing with a overwhelming feeling in the moment. Through playing I can have help students process their emotions and get back on track to be able to return to class and continue their learning. We will also use these games to to teach them social skills so they can be sucessful while they are in school and in the community. We will also use these games during their free time to interact with their peers. Your donation, no matter how small, can make a significant impact on someone's life.
