Many of them have asked why I didn't do this sooner!\r\n\r\nI have used everything provided in this project from the mental health posters, to the rug, and especially the amazing fidgets! Additionally, the two new comfy chairs allow me to host a total of 4 students for group sessions in my office. Before this, hosting group sessions was only possible when a conference room was available. Now I have a space that is more conducive for therapeutic and group sessions which allows me to see even more students!\r\n\r\nYour impact is significant and this office has finally transformed after 20 years!
