NCTSN Resource

Resource Description

Amid the pandemic, young people have faced increased isolation and disconnection. For Aiden, a youth dealing with mistreatment, ridicule, and exile from peers, community, and family, being isolated at home for months, has become almost unbearable. In this session, Aiden talks with a therapist for the first time, expressing deep feelings of sadness, shame, powerlessness and hopelessness that raise serious concerns about Aiden's safety for the therapist.
