Great post, Joel! I like how you frame it as "person first" and your reasoning behind it. Culturally, to survive, it is vital to teach people the life skills needed to navigate the dominant culture. There are expectations if a person wants to keep a job, etc. The Hope Program at SRM is doing important work in this area.

Thanks Jack. You are right, teaching skills takes longer but is much better in the long run.
