One of the most impactful quotes from the @empwrd2connect conference was "The first hour of a foster care placement is the most important hour during that placement." Read my latest blog… instagram.com/p/BwRxrRyH0B3/…
I had a student who was late to class come up to me afterward. “I’m sorry I was late.” He said. “My mom died this morning & I didn’t know where to go, so I came here.” & that was the day I decided to treat every single student as if I have no idea what they’re going through.

Studies show 60-70% of people in caregiving professions have a dismissive attachment style. There’s a reason for that and we have to be willing to look inward and do the work so we can truly respond to emotional needs in health. #ETC19
