Collaborating with Tracking Child Abuse, Trauma, and Self-Harm in the Medical Field through Kids At Risk Action (KARA) during the Leadership in Practice - WEL440 course has been both educational and transformative. The team at KARA brought unparalleled expertise and passion to every interaction, making this experience a standout opportunity for growth and learning. KARA’s leadership approach was particularly impactful. They modeled how to address sensitive and urgent issues with professionalism and empathy, creating a supportive environment that encouraged open dialogue. Through workshops, discussions, and real-world case studies, they deepened our understanding of the challenges facing vulnerable children while equipping us with actionable strategies to support their well-being. One of the key highlights of this collaboration was the emphasis on practical application. By connecting theoretical concepts to tangible actions, KARA showed us how leadership can drive meaningful change even in the most challenging contexts. Their ability to inspire through storytelling and real-life examples reinforced the importance of advocacy in professional practice. This partnership also underscored the value of teamwork and shared responsibility. Witnessing how KARA’s team worked cohesively to tackle complex issues served as a powerful reminder of the collective impact we can achieve by aligning our efforts and values. I am truly grateful for this opportunity to work alongside KARA. Their dedication to supporting at-risk children not only enhanced my learning experience but also inspired me to take a more proactive role in creating positive change. This collaboration has left a lasting impression, and I look forward to applying the insights gained in my future endeavors.
