I'm
a Case Manager at Pine Street Inn. Pine Street Inn
is one of the largest shelters in New England, which
has grown to include education, various programs,
permanent housing and health unit. I deal with people
who have Substance Abuse problem and/or Mental Health
Illness.
I have a B.A. in Sociology and Psychology from University
of Massachusetts. I have worked with families and
children including women in a domestic violence. I
have facilitated numerous Nurturing Parenting classes
and have also facilitated school age children 9 to
12 years old. I also created weekly workshops on communication
skills, positive discipline, self esteem and self
concept.
I believe everyone is equal but different in lot
of ways. Everyone has the right to live happy and
the right to make their own choices whenever possible.
Children should be respected by adults and allowed
to use their personal power whenever appropriate.
If you want your children to do the right things,
be a good role model. Children learn from watching.
Spanking doesn't work - positive discipline does.
I believe in using punishment such as taking away
privileges, time out and restitution, etc. I listen
without judging, forgive without a problem and I use
empathy instead of sympathy.
