Our focus...
Gentle Teaching is..
•
Focusing on being kind, nurturing, and loving toward
marginalized children and adults—those who have been pushed to
the edge of family or community life .
• Helping those who have sorrowful life-stories feel safe
with us and loved by us.
• Helping those who have inherent vulnerabilities such as
extreme poverty, homelessness, mental disability or mental
illness feel safe with us and loved by us and others.
• Looking
at our role as teaching feelings of companionship and community.
• Mending broken hearts—hearts that have been broken by tragic
life stories or by the particular nature of a mental or
emotional disability.
