Help me give my students items needed for our room. The paper shredder will be beneficial to help me always keep confidentiality. The feelings posters will be great to use to show my students various emotions.
I am a social worker in an elementary school. I provide individual psychotherapy, group psychotherapy, family therapy, and crisis management to students who have emotional, behavior issues or trauma. Our program (RBHS-Rehabilitative Behavioral Health Services) grew tremendously over the last few years. We now have mental health counselors in every school. I am starting up a new program at our elementary school, although I have been with the program for over five years. Due to the influx of staff, we did not receive supplies. I am in need of basic supplies to help me run successful therapy sessions and to help the students feel comfortable in my office.
My Project
These supplies will be incredibly beneficial to me in my practice. The paper shredder will help me keep confidentiality with the students that I serve. I will be able to shred confidential documents such as treatment plans, assessments, notes, and various other confidential information as needed.
The feelings posters will also be beneficial in helping me to teach feelings and emotions to my elementary school students.
I will be able to point to the posters that will be hung in my office while describing each feeling. These posters are hand dawn by children and will provide students with a visual will allowing them an opportunity and examples of how to express their own emotions.
