Scapegoat tree

A scapegoat tree is a special type of tree that people use to help deal with anger or stress. It works like this: When a person is feeling angry or stressed, they can go to their scapegoat tree and write down a message describing how they are feeling. When they write their message down, it helps to release their feelings. Later, when they visit the tree, the message helps remind them that they can deal with their anger or stress in a healthy way. Another person can also use the tree—if someone else is feeling angry, they can read the message and find comfort in knowing that other people understand their feelings.
