Olivia has had significant attachment issues with her mom because of the trauma she has experienced. This raised concerns for her ability to transition into a classroom setting, but after a recent conference with her Family Mentor at Wild Plum Center she was introduced to some peers in a classroom and immediately started interacting. She showed interest in activities, ate lunch with the class, and used some socialization skills that she has learned from participating in the Home Based Program.
After not even 6 months with the program, Olivia will be transitioning fully into the WPC classroom setting. This transition will help build structure and support for the family, who is so excited about this opportunity and it has been a relief to have the support that WPC is able to offer. Olivia's family has not had much consistency in their lives, and the Home Based program provided that for them in both small and big ways. This transition will provide more opportunities to learn, engage, and thrive every single day.
