Yaa Sakyi is the Family Advocate who serves as the liaison between students, families, and outside agencies. She provides support to students who experience difficulties, assists students with learning new behavioral skills, develops self-confidence, and becomes more aware of how others view them. She and the students discuss how to practice new behaviors, and how to deal with the many problems life presents.
