Excerpt from a letter from schools

I shared your resource with our STAN Counselors at our March meeting. They do not think they would use this resource. The reason they gave surprised me. They said that the students would not want to read about someone else because they have their own “stories” to tell and deal with.  FYI, students at our most inner city high school had a similar reaction to a speaker – a triple amputee – who spoke to them. They are dealing with issues that are much more important and immediate to them. It seems empathy is an area we need to look into.
