[quote=Anonymous]Working with and being responsible for kids isn’t easy. You DO need to have the ability to regulate your own emotions and remain calm and level headed and rational with kids. If these teenagers are bringing up their mental health struggles in the INTERVIEW, they likely don’t need to be working with kids this closely right now. There’s an elective class at my school that kids can join that involves working with and mentoring elementary kids. They have to give the names of teachers and redefences and several times kids have referred me who I have to very honestly say are unreliable and not stable enough to be trusted to work with little kids. Their mental health and fixation on their mental health barely had them functional in a regular class let alone working with little kids! No offense to them, I wish them well, but I don’t recommend them in those cases. So, these kids may not be good fit for working at a camp either. [/quote]
