Teachers Pay Teachers (TpT) is the go-to platform created by teachers, for teachers to access the community, content, and tools they need to teach at their best.

One of my biggest goals is to increase mental health awareness, the availability of free resources, and the access to services.
If you value my free mental health content it would mean a lot to me if you would like, share, or Buy Me a Coffee. This helps people find my free content and allows me to continue providing free content.
