What exactly can I rely on you for?
It is critical to the youth’s success to identify those adults who will continue to provide various supports through and beyond the transition from care.
Clarifying exactly what the various supports will include can help to avoid gaps in the youth’s safety net and misunderstandings between the youth and the supportive adult(s).
• A home for the holidays• A place to do laundry• An emergency place to stay• Care packages while in college• Storage• Someone to discuss problems with• A phone or computer to use

It can be hard to help someone:

When the person you try to help
lashes out at you

Why forgive?
![Page 38: Teening Up for Success Conference - Lisa Dickson workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555ca4fdd8b42aad358b4817/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Forgiveness vs. Reconciliation

“That never happened”

Cognitive Dissonance of the Abuser/Enabler
Cognitive dissonance: “I want to believe I am a good person. But I did this / let this happen.”
Choices:• Denial: “What I did wasn’t wrong.”• Excuses: “The other person
deserved it.”• Truth: Confess and take
responsibility
![Page 41: Teening Up for Success Conference - Lisa Dickson workshop](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060110/555ca4fdd8b42aad358b4817/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Cognitive Dissonance of the Person Who Was
Abused
Cognitive dissonance: “This is my parent. I love my parent. How could someone I love do this to me?”
Choices:• Denial: “What they did wasn’t wrong.”• Excuses: “I must have deserved it.”• Truth: “They should have protected me.
I was and am worth being protected.”

Reconnecting with People from the Past
• Am I emotionally ready for this?
• Will this be helpful or cause me harm?
• Am I taking baby steps? (email before phone calls; calls before visit in person)
• When visiting, do I have a back-up plan, in case I need to leave early?
• Have I planned time with supportive friends afterwards?
