Trauma informed approaches are already at work within medical professions and judicial systems all over the world. The heart of these approaches is a belief that students’ actions are a direct result of their experiences.

Every kid deserves a great education and every teacher deserves the tools to deliver it. #traumainformed #satorifoster #breakthecycle #fosterparenting #makeadifference... more

Children want to succeed! Acting out is the manner in which they're expressing the fact that there are expectations they're having difficulty meeting.

For children in foster care to have a better chance to succeed, foster parents must lead the charge and blaze a path as an advocate, fighting for the child’s every chance. They may be the only one fighting for this child, as the caseworker and teacher are overwhelmed with all they have to do. It is important to become as involved as possible.
