Who Cares About Kelsey?
Kelsey Carroll lived with homelessness, self-mutilation, abuse and ADHD. She was a poster child for high school dropouts — until she encountered an education revolution that's about empowering, not overpowering, teens with emotional and behavioral disabilities. Who Cares About Kelsey? shows innovative educational approaches that help students like Kelsey succeed - while improving the overall school culture and climate. Who Cares About Kelsey? will make viewers reconsider the "problem kids" in their own schools and spark new conversations about supporting and including youth with emotional and behavioral challenges. Portions of the movie were filmed at GSEHD's Public Policy Institute in 2010, when Kelsey spoke to and answered questions from an audience of institute participants. | | | |
