Today, we're discussing the concept of 'vulnerability'. Can anyone explain what that means in our context?
I think vulnerability refers to groups that are more likely to be affected by negative conditions.
Exactly! Vulnerable groups are those more likely to suffer from adverse circumstances. Can anyone name some examples?
Children, youth, and the elderly are all examples of vulnerable groups.
Right! So, why do you think these groups are particularly vulnerable?
They may not have enough resources or support systems.
Great point! Understanding their specific needs helps in providing effective support. Remember, we can use 'C-Y-E' to recall the vulnerable groups: Children, Youth, and Elderly.

People skills are critical since you have to interact with different individuals from various backgrounds.
Absolutely! People skills help you establish rapport and build trust. What about administrative skills?
