Social Stimulation

There is always a question on how can we socially stimulate a groups of students or elderly. 

We start with how to teach about getting  peer support and interpersonal skills through a fun socially stimulating activity. In this activity you can ask participants to construct potential "icebreakers."  Icebreakers are usually 3-5 minute introductory games designed to warm up the atmosphere and teach the attendees to feel more comfortable around other people.

Seems to be no brainer, but sometimes, this small step is missing and people get uncomfortable in the session. 

Try it,it is fun.

Taking lead in mantaing an organized and supportive environment

 As the Healthy Start program I am helping School, in maintaining an organized and supportive environment by managing the Lost & Found. By taking the lead in circulating information about misplaced items, I ensure that students and family can easily reclaim their belongings. I also involve parents in the process and have donated many bags of unclaimed items to local donation centers and thrift stores. This not only helps the community by providing usable items to those in need but also teaches the students about the importance of giving and sustainability. We should own even unwanted projects and turn it to a healthy practice for school and community (Dr.Fallah).

Collaborative Signature Event: Attendance Challenge

Image
  Collaborative Signature Event: Attendance Challenge I believe attendance is one of the most crucial matters in school. Every year, I organize this event alongside PSA and SSS counselors to emphasize its importance. Throughout the year I foundered and received toys from various organizations, and together, we assemble them into reward baskets. Students with perfect attendance receive a basket containing 5-6 items. Additionally, those with 96% or higher attendance are entered into a raffle for larger prizes. This year, we have six scooters and six helmets for safety to raffle off. Moreover, students also receive a certificate from PSA, recognizing their dedication to maintaining excellent attendance. I'm pleased that this initiative helps families recognize the importance of regular school attendance.
