Can you build a comfort and productive relationship with a student that is so effective, the student progresses to college and apprenticeship - can you change the course of their life?

Of course, life and the role are not that linear, vulnerable children are surrounded by vulnerable adults and will be exposed to trauma and the opportunity to make decisions that are not in their best interest.

Seeing the differences of how mental health and autism, for example, manifest differently in girls and boys - something overlooked and another example of the socio-economic and anthropological elements of life you will see play out in front of you.

The school values Restorative and empathetic practices, empathy drives connection, this is a key aspect that vulnerable children who have been through significant trauma will really respond to, this is one aspect of connection that are looking for, not pity and sympathy.
