| Abstract: |
The article focuses on the challenges faced by special educators working with students who exhibit significant behavioral issues, particularly in crisis situations. It highlights the emotional toll on educators, such as feelings of overwhelm and frustration, exacerbated by factors like staff turnover and inadequate training. The piece emphasizes the importance of humility and compassion from school psychologists in fostering effective collaboration and support within these high-stress environments. By adopting a compassionate approach, school psychologists can help create a psychologically safe atmosphere that enhances communication and ultimately improves outcomes for both students and staff.
