These materials will make a difference in my students' lives because it will create a warm and safe place for them to express their thoughts and feelings. Having a couch in my office will invite students to feel more comfortable in talking about difficult things they may be experiencing in their lives. In the past, I've had multiple students who are having a bad day come into my office and lay down on the cold linoleum floor just to feel grounded and I have been wishing to get a couch into my office. Having a white noise machine will also help with maintaining confidentiality so that others cannot hear what sensitive information they may be sharing with me. A shredder will also ensure that student's records are kept private. Finally, the journals and clay will allow me to give students tools to learn new coping skills.
