Newest "Crisis Intervention Team" member

For the past week, I have been at a school for work called Crisis Intervention Training (CIT). It's training learning how to deal with and handle the mentally challenged and drug/alcohol addicted persons. We had several instructors come and talk as well as patient's involved in the program. We also did "role-playing" which was interesting in itself. I wish I had video of this so I could show how crazy some of my co-workers are.

While in the class.... lets just say, I've learned a little something about myself and my family.... "We're Crazy"!!

No really, after seeing and talking with instructor's and actual patients with the illnesses, I've come to realize how BLESSED we are.

I'm hoping to get to use the training to make a positive impact on someones life, whether it be someone at work or even in my private life. Some of the techniques can be used at home to de-escalate a situation so that everyone understands what the other wants or needs. And, for a small fee ($$$), I could slide privileged person's some info. The more the money, the better the information. :)

So, give it up for me for being the newest member of the Crisis Intervention Team.

Yea.. Yeah......... I'll try and get some pics of the graduation ceremony and post them.
