I also found the speaker on Tuesday to be very interesting and helpful, and the things he talked about were really an eye-opener for me. Personally, I have never had any experience, professionally or in my personal life, of dealing with kids that have run away from home and become homeless. At first, it was hard for me to even imagine what that experience must be like, or how their family at home functions.
I think that hearing that presentation reminded me once again that it is so important to not only be educated about the many different types of families and dynamics that can exist, but also to have an open mind. While there are many similarities in families regarding strength characteristics, or establishing boundaries and roles, every family and every person experiences those things differently. If you can keep from making snap-judgements about a person or situation, you will better be able to help.
