Hi, I’m Brittany, the creator behind The Calm Connection. I’m a school social worker and Adjunct Professor with experience working with students from Pre-K through high school, as well as teaching graduate students preparing to enter the field of school social work.

Working across different age groups has taught me that the best resources aren’t necessarily the ones with the most information. They’re the ones students will actually engage with and professionals can realistically use.

That’s why I create practical, engaging, evidence-informed resources designed with real students and real school settings in mind. From emotions, anxiety, and coping skills to self-regulation, executive functioning, relationships, and self-esteem, my goal is to make those important conversations a little easier to start.

The Calm Connection is a place for school social workers, counselors, therapists, educators, and other helping professionals to find worksheets, group activities, counseling tools, discussion prompts, SEL resources, and creative ways to connect with the young people they support.

I hope you find something here that makes your work a little easier and helps your students feel a little more understood.
