Four MSW student interns help to facilitate individual and group sessions with students in order to address trauma, emotional distress, and behavioral difficulties. Interns are trained in various therapeutic techniques and the students at Bushwick Leaders benefit from opportunities they would not otherwise have with a supervised social worker. The students have reported that the Counseling Bodega is a space that they feel comfortable taking time away from their day to learn coping strategies to deal with behavioral and emotional issues. A cup of hot chocolate, comfortable bean bag chairs, and a weighed stuffed cat has made a tremendous difference to the student who is struggling.

Because of your donations, each of my students now has their own set of headphones, something that has already made a huge difference in our classroom. Students are able to focus better during independent work, listen to reading assignments, and engage in personalized learning activities at their own pace. Having this resource has allowed me to create a more inclusive and differentiated learning environment where every student can thrive.\r\n\r\nThese materials have also made my day-to-day teaching smoother and more efficient. With students able to work independently and quietly, I can provide more one-on-one support and small-group instruction. The difference in student engagement and confidence has been remarkable.
