Rita Platt
Simple but effective relationship-building strategies to help students struggling with trauma.
I grew up in a rough home. Both of my parents suffered from mental illness and addiction and were in and out of hospitals my entire childhood. My dad still is.
I looked after my younger sister and tried to make my parents feel better, stop drinking, stop fighting, and just be better role models. I really thought I could solve their problems if they would let me. I felt like I was responsible for everything.
