Christian is one of the most optimistic children you will ever know. He has such a big heart and always looks out and advocates for his sisters. He is the middle child and takes his role of big and little brother seriously. Christian comes from a single-parent family, and while his mother struggles with her mental health, she still maintains a loving and caring relationship with her kids and family. Christian has low self-confidence and found managing his behavior at school difficult. His academic scores were declining as a result.
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.
