⚠️ Last chance! Would you like to help us package trees for Bryan City Schools April 25th from 3:30-5:00 PM? Contact Joan ASAP! ‼️ Learn more about this event or other volunteer opportunities at our community calendar on our website. {Link in profile} Melinda👆🏻and Joan are at a 2 day training at Larc Lane School in Toledo about trauma-informed care. 💡 This type of care is about Safety. This means creating spaces where people feel culturally, emotionally, and physically safe. Other important factors are trustworthiness, choice & empowerment. 📢 At last night’s Voices of the People Self-Advocacy meeting, we discussed Major Unusual Incidents (MUI/UI) and the responsibility of reporting. You can find more information about reporting an incident here at the “Report Abuse” link on our homepage {link in profile} 💭 We also learned about upcoming volunteer opportunities. See opportunities on our community calendar on our website. Anne Westhoven has been a DSP (Direct Support Professional) and was recently promoted to a program manager position in Williams County at Easy Living, LLC. We want to congratulate her for going above and beyond! ✍️ She does thorough reviews of the ISP and lets the SSA know if something needs changed to give the most accurate and person centered representation of the individual and their goals. 👏 She makes sure staff follow the ISP and advocates fiercely for individuals. As a result, the individuals are making great progress and doing things they’ve never done before and living fuller lives. 🙌 She went over and above in a very critical situation – arranging 24 hour staffing within hours and keeping a positive frame of mind the entire time. 📆 She shares our community events calendar with her individuals to promote community involvement. 💛 She speaks positively and enthusiastically about individuals and their potential. Smiling staff & board members 👋🏻... Tonight’s Board Training organized by NOWAC was a great success. New @doddohio Director Jeff Davis and Bridget Gargan, Executive Director at Ohio Association of County Boards of DD spoke about the state budget, Department focus and the commitment to keeping our DD system local. We hosted a lunch for the Williams County athletes that will be participating in the All-Star Cage Classic Game tonight at Bryan High School. 🏀 Special Olympics participants are Dawn Nelson, Kaela Egler, Steve Kimpel and Alex Miller. Good luck!!!
