The Strength of Vulnerability
Gilliam, Bobby; Franklin, John Travis
Reclaiming Children and Youth: The Journal of Strength-based Interventions, v13 n3 p144 Fall 2004
Many aspects of our work with at-risk children are spiritual by nature. A whole generation of at-risk children are crying out and asking hard questions. Although we certainly will not have all the answers, a shared experience of the very vulnerability of our human condition can turn this into a strength for us and our children. The authors propose that there are certain universal truths in helping at-risk children with spiritual development.
