Funding Request for Social Emotional Learning materials

Ethan’s Purpose proudly supports school administrators, counselors, teachers, and staff and we know that sometimes they can use support in the form of SEL materials or books for book clubs focused on social skills and emotional regulation. Unfortunately, funding is not always available for these resources, so let Ethan’s Purpose help you help your students.

Small Group Counseling Services

The original service provided by Ethan’s Purpose is small group counseling by a licensed counselor. Ethan’s Purpose has partnered with several independent agencies to come to selected schools and provide counseling services to small groups ranging from 5–10 students. The topics covered include grief, depression, anxiety, and can be tailored to the specific needs of your students. School administrators and counselors select the students to participate in the groups and coordinate services with Teresa Haney from Ethan’s Purpose Foundation.
