What is Project Comfort?

Project Comfort is an 8-lesson character development program. Each lesson includes an accompanying application activity of creating and delivering a signature comfort plaque. The more time spent discussing and collaborating during these lessons and applications, the more the skill takes root and cultivates new behaviors.

This program is the ultimate “learn-by-doing” program that awakens the empathy that lies within us. Project Comfort’s programming is perfect in the classroom, for after school clubs, summer camps, or groups that are in need of group bonding and deeper relationships.

We certify your staff to facilitate the program.

Who can facilitate Project Comfort?

You’re qualified to facilitate the Project Comfort program if you are:

— Someone who has a huge heart and cares deeply for students
— An expert at managing time and projects
— An engaging communicator
— Someone who the students feel able to trust
— Someone who believes in a culture of care

We believe that it’s everyone responsibility, not just that of mental health professionals, to cultivate a culture of care.

You do not need to be a mental health professional to be a Project Comfort Facilitator. That being said, we recommend that a mental health liaison be present for some sessions to ensure the well-being of the students.
