Calming Room

Visit the WHS Student Support Office Calming Room.

If you need a place to come during the school day to relax, we have a calming room inside the Student Support Office for students to use when they are feeling anxious or stressed. To use the room, sign into the counseling office and then ask for the calming room!

Everything you see in the calming room was intentionally placed here to help students deal with overwhelming emotions. The room was designed to attend to all five senses for a full sensory calming experience. You will notice frames around the room with information about the scientific reasons these items were included. Some of the resources here are: 

• Coloring and drawing supplies 
• Squeeze balls, fidgets, putty and modeling clay 
• Earbuds for listening to calming sounds and music 
• Rocking chair 
• Journals and writing prompts 
• Puzzles and puzzle books 
• Breathing and relaxation exercises, including our "talking pictures" 
• Beading supplies 
• Sand tray 
• Weighted blanket 
• Worksheets and workbooks 
• Balance ball
