Shift Happens: George's Story
Description
When he was 12 George didn’t really speak, especially around people he didn’t know. He has Autism Spectrum Disorder and ADHD, but this wasn’t diagnosed until later in life. He says this meant he sometimes exploded with frustration, and often got into fights. George didn’t feel like he fitted in at school, but that during his visit to Jamie’s Farm he started speaking a little more, and from there he slowly gained the confidence to become who he wanted to be and build positive relationships with those around him.
In Shift Happens, psychotherapist, former teacher, and Jamie’s Farm co-founder Tish Feilden is in conversation with young people we hear a lot about but don't often hear from; raw, moving accounts of teenagers who were not succeeding within the school system, only to turn their lives around. She explores with them exactly what it was that made the difference.
