Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Students

Students at my school are resilient, compassionate, and willing to learn about growth and self-care. Students at my school understand the importance of mental health and are willing to utilize the tools learned to help not only other students in their classrooms but also their communities as well.

Many of my students show bravery as they openly discuss their mental health and the way it influences their academic performance and overall daily functioning.

My students have faced multiple hardships over the years that have impacted their overall well-being, but they continue to show up to school and do their very best.

My students look forward to meeting with me and doing hands-on projects that positively impact their mental health. They constantly ask when the next meeting will be and are eager to learn about the new skills and tools that will be taught to them. Most of the families my school serves have little resources for their children and I feel so fortunate to be able to provide some of these resources to my amazing students!

My Project

These workbooks, self-care activities and resources will help our students on the path to a better overall well-being including social-emotional learning and self-growth. These resources will help our students learn to manage life challenges that often impact their mental health. Every activity has been carefully chosen according to the needs that have been assessed in the lives of our students and their families.

By donating to my project, you will help make a positive impact in our community that will extend to later generations of students struggling with the same mental health issues.

You will allow room for growth and opportunity in the lives of our most vulnerable students.

These materials will allow us the opportunity to teach students about self-love, self-care, growth, empathy and compassion, empowerment, support and connection. It will allow me to create a safe space for students in crisis and students that need extra support on any given day. It will allow room for students to learn about how mental health impacts their daily functioning in the classroom, in the community, and at home. These materials will allow me to give resources to students that unfortunately do not have access to them at home. It will give students a chance to process feelings, thoughts and behaviors and utilize tools to improve their academic functioning and social-emotional learning. The goal is to help students learn that they are not alone and they can accomplish great things simply by taking better care of their mental health.
