The love, attention, and security only adults can offer liberates children from the need to make themselves invulnerable and restores to them that potential for life and adventure that can never come from risky activities, extreme sports, or drugs. Without that safety our children are forced to sacrifice their capacity to grow and mature psychologically, to enter into meaningful relationships, and to pursue their deepest and most powerful urges for self-expression. In the final anal-ysis, the flight from vulnerability is a flight from the self. If we do not hold our children close to us, the ultimate cost is the loss of their ability to hold on to their own truest selves. #healingonboard #healingjourney #mentalhealthawareness #traumarecovery #selfcare #resilience #childhoodtrauma #survivor #copingmechanisms

The students onboard Vela had some pretty special encounters with Whales on their way across the Pacific between Fiji and Palau!

Even if you're going out solo, don't go boating alone! Tell a trusted friend or family member know where you're going and what time you expect to be back. You might know this as "filing a float plan," but you don't need anything formal. It can be as simple as texting or emailing someone with your whereabouts, what time you expect to get home, and who to call if you're not back within a reasonable window of time. 🚩Enjoy this video?
