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
My students are creative, funny, brave, and resilient. I am a social worker,so I work with students who have experienced adverse childhood experiences and extreme trauma, but still arrive to school each day with smiles on their faces. I am in awe of that ways in which my students process what has happened to them, and the ways in which they navigate through the world.
My Project
The main focus of this project to help my students feel safe, supported, and able to authentically express themselves through art.
With the use of playdough, markers, and coloring books, students will be able to feel a sense of calm, and will be able to increase their self awareness, mindfulness and have an outlet for their creativity.
The materials included here will allow students and me to build their coping skills toolbox through experiential activities, play therapy, grounding exercises and more. Thank you for helping me in supporting our youth and their mental health!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
