Reaching Students With Emotional Disturbances

Understanding "emotional disturbance" is key in education.

It's about significant behavior and mental health hurdles students face, often linked to early attachment disruptions or trauma.

But here's the good news: young minds can bounce back. A safe space empowers them to embrace emotions in learning. Here are four strategies:

🔹 Brain-Based Centers: Empower through self-awareness.

🔹 Check-In Notes: Prioritize well-being with personalized notes.

🔹 Structured Support: Try the "2x10 Strategy" for connections.

🔹 Locked Journal: Foster self-expression in a safe space.

When given consistent support, students facing emotional struggles can reveal their inner resilience. 🚀💙
