Not Always Who They Seem
Produced by Echo Bridge Productions
Children who have
been abused, neglected or exposed to unexpected early or unexplained violence
don't see the world as safe and predictable, and normal development is
derailed. Not Always Who They Seem provides motivational support
and encourages compassion when working with traumatized adolescents.
In this eye-opening 3-part video series you will meet some very remarkable
people and gain insight into the lives that many youth experience. Vinnie,
Christine, Bill, and Clarinda have lived daily with violence, addiction,
homelessness, prostitution, depression, and rage. Unique as their stories
are, they are also quite similar. Because for all four of these young
people, being a child was dangerous.
This series challenges audiences to take another look at the teenagers
with whom they are working--to see them not as "troublemakers" or "lost
causes," but as young people who have been torn by childhood trauma and
have had no appropriate avenue of expression. These are young people in
desperate need of support and understanding. The series also includes
interviews with health professionals, counselors and psychologists working
with young people in foster care, group homes, youth detention facilities,
day treatment, special education and outreach. They offer a realistic
picture of the challenges and rewards inherent in working with these teens
and provide a model for the process of healing and growth.
"NOT ALWAYS WHO THEY
SEEM is powerful, insightful, thought provoking and at the same time humbling.
As I watched the courage of each person telling their story, I thought this
program should be mandatory viewing for all professionals who work with
youth. Even the most cynical could not help but be affected by the emotion,
hurt and eventual growth." .....Judy Hatswell, School Psychologist
