Christian is part of our Friends of the Children- Charlotte program. His mentor worked with Christian on his School Success goal, and stepped in as a liaison between the school and Christian‘s mom to start the process of getting an Individualized Education Program/Plan. His mentor helped Christian find his spark outside of school to help him stay motivated. Christian learned self-management skills and how to verbalize his thoughts and concerns. His self doubt decreased and helped him in and out of school to create a sense of belonging amongst his peers.
