  9. The students indicated the following insights and observations: • Felt that the program coaches engaged them in a very accepting and non- judgmental manner. • Were intrigued with and excited about the fact that other adults would actually be interested in getting to know students with challenging life stories. • Liked the idea that the coach was there to accept them for who they really are and learn about their real life story as a way to help understand “what might be” and to normalize the challenges they might be experiencing. • Liked the process of focusing on strengths or what positive quality they could build upon as a starting point. • Felt the AOC program kept its promises and provided the support needed to take the risks to connect with the session facilitator and volunteer coaches. 16
