Hi, I'm Kate Patraw

 

 

Who I am and Why I Became a Youth Resilience Coach

 

I have always loved children and knew I wanted to be a teacher from the time I was a little girl playing "school" with my family and my chalkboard. I became a special education teacher and spent 19 years in the middle school setting. The tween and teen years were incredibly difficult for me so I came to the middle school environment with compassion, empathy, and a deep understanding of their challenges and experiences. As a teacher, I took pride in developing strong relationships with my students, and I soon realized that my students all had one thing in common: the desperate need for an adult to listen to, care for, and help them them process their thoughts and emotions. Over the past 19 years I helped not only my students but other kids set goals, work to reach them, and gain confidence and self-advocacy skills along the way.

 

Connecting with tweens and teens is something that brings me great joy and as a result, I decided to become a Youth Resilience Coach, bringing my skills developed from years in the classroom, as well as my own struggles as a tween and teen, to a more widespread setting where I can expand my reach and continue to help the age group that I love.
