Amygdala Reset Room

The Amygdala Reset Room is a designated location for students and staff to reset their emotional brain. The first attempt may be to start with a calming corner. The Amygdala Reset Room could be the next step. A student's physical state must be calm in order to utilize this location to reset their emotional state.
