The Watercooler Room

Social-Emotional and Mental Health

The Watercooler Room is more than a program—it’s a movement of compassion, empowerment, and intentional care for the hearts and minds of our youth. Developed by Jazzy Jam for Empowerment in partnership with PUSD, LACOE, and regional school districts, this initiative infuses social-emotional wellness and restorative enrichment into the everyday lives of our children.

In a world where young people are navigating more pressures than ever before, Watercooler Room: Pouring Into Our Children offers a sanctuary. A safe, nurturing space where students are equipped not only to cope—but to flourish.

Why It Matters

The early years of life are foundational for emotional intelligence, mental health, and personal development. Our children are not just tomorrow’s leaders—they are today's learners, dreamers, and creators. And they need more than academics. They need safe spaces to:

  • Build resilience
  • Discover their voice
  • Learn emotional balance
  • Connect with caring mentors and peers
  • Experience joy, safety, and belonging

The Watercooler Room delivers just that.

Our Approach: 25 Tools. One Purpose.

At the heart of the Watercooler Room are 25 holistic restoration and empowerment tools designed to foster:

  • Emotional resilience
  • Social connectedness
  • Academic excellence
  • Kindness, compassion, and inner peace

From mindfulness and breathwork to mentoring, music, art, and movement—we meet students where they are and help guide them to where they’re meant to be.
