About this Campaign
Middle school students often face a lot of stress and anxiety, which can negatively impact their academic performance and well-being. The National Institute of Health states that 1 in every 3 teenagers will experience an anxiety disorder. As a strategy to this problem, we propose to create a calming corner in the library to help students relax and unwind.
The calming corner will serve as a quiet and safe space for students to escape from the stress and distractions of their daily routine. Students who are feeling stressed or overwhelmed can come to the corner to de-stress or recharge which will allow them to better focus on their studies.
The calming corner will include several elements to promote relaxation and to help teach different coping skills and emotional regulation for students. The corner will be located in a quiet corner in the library to allow for a safe space. Located inside the corner will be comfortable seating and resources. These resources include different books, fidgets, timers, colored pencils and other items to help them practice mindfulness and manage stress.
We believe that this project will have a positive impact on the mental health and well-being of our students and look forward to its implementation. We are asking for $500 plus cost reimbursement to cover the costs of the furniture and wellness resources.
