One Trusted Adult

How to Build Strong Connections & Healthy Boundaries with Young People

By: Brooklyn Raney

Narrated by: Brooklyn Raney

Every child needs one trustworthy adult, and every adult can be one.

In clear, accessible terms, One Trusted Adult lays out:

• The critical nature of trust along with simple tools that help build trusting relationships with young people and expand the opportunities for positive impact
• The meaning of boundaries and how to set clear expectations that keep both young people and the adults who work with them safe
• Steps to create an organizational culture that cares for the whole child and celebrates the adults who get it right while holding accountable those who don’t
• Ways that teachers, coaches, and parents can partner to surround kids with the only thing better than one trusted adult: many trusted adults

Packed with real-life stories and invaluable tips, One Trusted Adult inspires all adults, especially educators, to build strong connections, embrace sustainable career practices, break the silence around boundary violations and abuse, and be present for the youths in their lives. In doing so, adults can ensure that the kids in their care are growing into their greatest potential.

Between the stories and advice Brooklyn gave throughout this book I found it difficult to stop listening. she made me think long and hard about my trusted adults and to whom I am a trusted adult to.
