This morning, it took me an extra hour to prepare for work after watching videos of the weekend riots. I don't always have the capacity to watch the news, but staying informed is important when my nervous system can handle it.
The problem is, I know the monumental effort it takes to turn around just one young person conditioned by adverse circumstances like poverty, academic neglect, racism, foster care instability, bullying, and domestic abuse.
It can feel hopeless when you start to consider the challenges that we face.
We need to remember the immense number of workers in social care, charity sector and childcare systems required due to community breakdown.
