    During my Junior Year of high school, I fell into an immense state of depression and was diagnosed with anxiety and attention deficit disorder. Anxiety destroyed my confidence and morphed minor problems into mountains that I dared not climb. My inability to focus and lack of energy further enlarged my issues, and impaired my belief that I could overcome this challenging time. Being a first generation Latina, stigma revolving mental health in our community made it difficult for my parents to understand how depression and anxiety impairs one 's ability to function. Because I refused to seek help, I lost all resilience and motivation to strive forward, and as a result, my grades and relationships suffered tremendously.

  • Special Education Program Analysis

    Students with EBD are typically the largest group among all disabilities who receive education in an alternative learning environment (U.S. Department of Education, 2016) and all students with disabilities are entitled to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE) as part of the IDEA regulations (Kuo, 2017). Currently, the GNETS program is a large program that services 4,500 students with behavioral disorders; once a student has been placed into this program, a team works to get the student established with the instructional services that follow the Common Core State Standards, research-based behavioral interventions, IEP goals and objectives, and progress monitoring (Georgia Department of Education, 2016). The purpose of a placement for an EBD student in this program is to “prevent children from requiring residential or other more restrictive placements” and support the local school systems’ services (GNETS Rules and Regulations, 2015, p.1). Furthermore, the GNETS programs use the Trauma-Informed Care (TIC) approach to create a learning environment where students feel safe, trusted, respected and empowered (Kuo, 2017).
