Pros

I love working with the kids. It is easily the most rewarding feeling when you know you're making a difference. These kids have been through Hell and back. They have seen the worse of the worst, and are just trying to survive the only way they know how. Depending on where you are depends on the level of support from your supervisors.

Cons

Lack of support and consistency from supervisors, different units and higher ups. Often times clients are unable to be safely managed due to their level of aggression. Making it unsafe for staff and clients, and needing to rely on police support.
