Sarah Soaring Eagle

As Sarah uses both she and they pronouns, they'll be used interchangeably when referring to Sarah.

Sarah had gotten used to her group home and its staff, but when she turned 18, her situation changed. Her long-time caseworker could no longer work with her as an adult, and she had to move to a transitional placement for adults. They've only been there for 6 weeks and don't have deep relationships with staff yet, although there is one worker that Sarah likes: Theresa.

Sarah is able to access the community between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m., provided she remains on track to graduate at the end of June and keeps up with her house responsibilities. Over the years, Sarah was one to stay close to home, enjoying her introverted hobbies and close friends' company, but lately, they have been out all day, every day. At first, Sarah would come home tired but over the moon, talking about her new boyfriend Parker and how wonderful he was. More recently, Sarah is coming home withdrawn and avoiding eye contact. They report not sleeping well and have been wearing long sleeves and turtlenecks daily despite the warming spring weather.
