I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor/elementary school social worker. I have a Master's Degree in Social Work and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker license, along with a School Social Worker License.

In classes 2-4, learners will need a piece of paper and things to color with. In class 2, I will offer a coloring page that can be printed out beforehand, but if learners do not have access to a printer, they can draw their own.
In this class we talk about "worry monsters" I explain to the children that monsters are not real and our worry monster is really anxiety. The worry monster helps the kids see that anxiety is something that they can conquer.
My worry monster story is based on other stories like "Fabulous Faith Meet My Worry Monster" by Melissa Webster, "Shrinking the Worry Monster" by Carol McMillin, and "Go Away Worry Monster" by Brooke Graham.
