Black History Month begins next week! Here are some things to keep in mind for therapy materials:

1. Do your research! Make sure the information you are educating your students/clients on is accurate and based on historical facts.

2. Keep your intentions in mind - consider WHY it's important to teach students about Black history.

3. Release the struggle - not all Black history is about slavery or the Civil Rights Movement. There's a lot to celebrate! Remind students about the celebratory aspects of Black culture.

4. Support Black businesses! There's plenty of Black businesses on TPT and Boom Cards (such as myself) who sell treatment materials. Support them this month and year round.
