I haven't seen this since it came out, but I remember the way it portrayed the kids was dead on, the two boys (Marcus and Luis I think?) were especially recognizable archetypes that I saw over and over again. The way it portrayed the staff felt really off though. They seemed like passionate amateurs rather than experienced professionals. I remember them having all these bad boundaries, and they made it really obvious when they were upset in front of the kids. Also most of the staff were white.

What level of training do you require of your staff, and then what do they get in house? I'm a psychologist working in group homes in Australia and we now require a Certificate in youth work, which is a 6 month polytechnic level course. Prior to a few years ago when we had a rapid expansion it was essentially 'do you want to work with kids? Yes? You're hired'

Prior to a few years ago when we had a rapid expansion it was essentially 'do you want to work with kids? Yes? You're hired' We generally look for folks with some kind of experience in residential settings, then I do a lot of training and delegate the rest. Once they are hired they need CPR/first aid, food handling, bloodborne pathogens, crisis intervention etc. Beyond that our staff is required to log at least 30 hours of training a year, and our agency generally schedules trainings on motivational interviewing, conflict resolution, dialectical behavioral therapy, trauma stewardship, suicide prevention and a bunch of others.
