My Project

As a school mental health-based counselor I go into all classrooms (PreK through 6) each week and see students in groups as well as individually. I am looking for help funding resources, activities, and books for my students.

With the uptick in mental health struggles and behavioral challenges, children's needs are at an all-time high.

Nearly 20% of children ages 3-17 in the United States have a mental, emotional, developmental, or behavioral disorder, and suicidal behaviors among school students increased by more than 40% in recent years. We are seeing varying levels of mental health and behavioral challenges and are looking to help support our students!

Thank you for all your help, I appreciate you so much!
