so i learned last night that one of my former JJAEP students died last weekend due to a drug overdose. yikes. this is the first client i've had die. he was only 16. i spent part of the evening reminding myself that it wasn't my fault that he didn't get help. we offered him help. we gave him every opportunity to get into treatment, and he wouldn't go so it isn't my problem. it is very sad though. kids never think what they do is going to hurt them. well...sometimes the price is high.
