Help Danielle Provide Emotional Support Kits for Students

Hi! My name is Danielle Creamer, M.A., ATR, LPATA — a nationally registered art therapist contracted with Wellness Creative, where I provide art therapy support to children and teens navigating emotional and mental health challenges.

As the upcoming school year approaches, after many years working with children and teens, and even my own experience, I have witnessed students feeling the weight of anxiety, stress, and overwhelm before school begins. Back-to-school transitions can bring uncertainty, academic pressure, and social changes — all of which can be incredibly difficult to manage without proper coping tools.

That’s why I’m launching a fundraiser to create Coping Skills Toolboxes: calming, personalized kits that I will be preparing and distributing to children and teens I work with through Wellness Creative.

What is a Coping Skills Toolbox?

Each toolbox will include supportive items such as:

Sensory and fidget tools

Art materials for expressive regulation

Breathing and mindfulness cards

Positive affirmations and grounding visuals

Mini journals and emotion tracking tools

Personalized self-soothing strategies

These boxes are designed to empower students to manage emotions like frustration, anxiety, and stress — especially as they adjust to the demands of the school year.

Why It Matters:

In my role at Wellness Creative, I witness how art and sensory-based coping strategies help students build resilience, confidence, and self-awareness. But many families do not have the resources to purchase these items themselves.

By donating to this initiative, you're helping ensure that every student I serve has access to the tools they need to thrive emotionally and socially — no matter their background.

How Your Donation Helps:

Your contribution will go directly toward:

Purchasing calming and creative supplies

Assembling individualized toolboxes

Distributing kits before and during the start of the school year

No gift is too small — each donation helps create a ripple of emotional support.

Thank you for supporting my mission to nurture healthier, more resilient children through creative wellness.

With appreciation,

Danielle Creamer, M.A., ATR, LPATA
