Adults who went to Boarding School as Children
​​​
For many ex-boarders the experience of being sent away to boarding school has a long lasting impact.
​​
Some of the ways you adapted as a child to the school environment may have become problematic in your adult life now.

The privilege attached to private schools can make this difficult to acknowledge and talk about. Perhaps you went to a state or specialist residential school. Each person's background and experience is different and deserves to be fully heard so that it can be understood and integrated.
