[Counselors] Mental Health Support Containers Response #1

[OSRHEStudent Prep PK-12 Counselor Discussion Board]

We will be purchasing mental health support bags/tubs for our classrooms in the near future.  I'm curious if other schools have done this.  And what items have been beneficial to have in your containers?

I have been in schools that have done this and had a "calm down corner. "Fidgets are always a good idea like the bubble popper, these are in a shape like a rainbow or a dolphin, and the "bubbles are a rubbery material the student can pop in and out. Marbles in mesh are great also, the student can push it back and forth in the enclosed mesh. Bubble timers with different colored liquids are also great. If you need any more ideas let me know; my school was able to fund a DonorsChoose calm down room with a grant.
