My Project

As a school social worker, the items I have idenitfied have intent and purpose to help the social emotional wellbeing of my studenets.

These selected items will help improve the students on my caseloads ability to self-regulate and strategize ways to utilize their skill set to be a successful student in the classroom.

These items are meant to bring awareness to mental health needs of the population we serve and to identify tools to help them regulate. Mental health is such an important and necessary topic to be discussed in the school envionrment. This project intends to provide focus to that.
