One of the most important things we teach our students is how to ask for help when they need it. Seemingly small things build the foundation for students to ask for help with the big things. We work with our students to make them feel comfortable asking for help for almost everything—including when they may feel unsafe or in pain. One of our students, Zach, had major success in this area.

Sophie likes to get her hair done, eat pizza, hang out with her friends, and put her feet up to watch TV. In a lot of ways, she’s just like any other teenage girl.

A prevailing trait across our Garden Academy students is resilience; our students work every day to learn skills that many people in this world may take for granted. Tommy is no exception.
