Bud Carlson Academy: NH’s first ‘trauma-skilled’ school

ROCHESTER — “How many of you have been homeless?” was the question. Half of the group raised their hands, not a one older than 18.

“My father was a drug addict and my mom was associated with bad people and was never really home,” said one student, who has attended eight different schools. “And then my parents were scattered all over the news. Kids picked on me. I was known for that at school, so I just started fighting people.”
