⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“I work with Teens in trauma and have used this resource especially when a student needs a boost. I just sporadically find one that suits the situation and secretly leave it on their desk. They treasure them and it seems to help them through whatever it is that is causing them pain at the time. I laminated them and let them keep as a reminder of what I see in them.”
