Tools for now; tools for life... It's one way our 8th graders can manage their struggles with the support of our community including administration, teachers, and counselors.
As school counselors, our charge is to help the students learn to help themselves. We are doing students a disservice if we don't teach them coping skills and how to utilize resources. These resources will assist students when they visit our guidance office. The goal is to teach them to self-soothe and cope using wished-for items such as books, fidgets, creams, sounds, games, and crafts. We've got to support their independent use of tools so that they can return to the classroom to learn!
