She has one follow-up question: "If any of you have approached a learner who you suspect is being abused, what opening lines have you used to broach the topic?" >>> tamill2@uky.edu 12/08/04 5:25 PM >>> it is harder to deal with this sort of suspicion when the person involved is an adult - you have more recourses open to you with children. The best I can suggest is providing her with literature about health care that just happens include something on seeking counselling. Make sure the literature stresses that everything will be treated in a professional and confidential manner. good luck Toni-Ann At 04:14 PM 12/7/2004, you wrote: >A teacher who lurks on the listserv asked me to post this for her: >"I have a student who has been in my class for almost a year.
