Do you use NVCI in work? It may be called something else?
You poor thing, it's pretty scary when things get out of control, I'm really glad you were able to back up your colleague, but very sorry you were also hurt.
It's hard to deal with the psychological aftermath... and the paperwork...ye God's.
The people we support most often are not responsible and don't know what they're doing, but it's hard even so to deal with situations like these. 🥺
Keep talking about the tough parts of your job to someone buddy, don't hold this stuff in. 🤗❤
Basically the same thing though, verbal descalation whenever possible, blocks and holds when not.
I hope you're well supported by your supervisors and other staff, it's a tough job you're doing, stay as safe as you can Scott.
Scott I hope your friend's place wasn't destroyed? Oh please let everyone have insurance. I know this can't replace everything lost, nor a heritage building, but hopefully people won't lose everything they have.
I've just been cleaning the last few days. I do ok keeping basics done but between Scott's schedule and my other limitations, I just can't zip thru and do the whole house in 4-5 hours anymore. So I break it up.
Friday I washed the stairwell walls, the door. Lily and her slobber! 🙄 I swear...and scrubbed the entry floor.
Yesterday I did most of the laundry and cleaned, dusted and vacuumed my room. Ty vacuumed the stairs for me, we still have carpet on them. Today, scrubbed the bathroom and dusted the living room and Ty swept the floor.
Ali had her first track meet yesterday, did well...3rd in the 100m, 3rd in the 4x100 relay, and 4th in hurdles. Those were her heats, but she said they didn't have final heats. And not sure where she placed in long jump but her coach said he's going to get her to regionals this year. He says she can do it, and possibly state. Pretty big expectations after 1st meet! And today she is helping a friend move.
The kids have spring break this week, so the littles are coming Wed for a sleepover.
Oh and Ali has been accepted into a 3 week summer program at the University of Wyoming for this summer. She will take a couple classes, stay in the dorm, eat at the cafeteria, field trips...get a taste of college life. We had a meeting last week at school for her schedule the next two years...she will be taking classes concurrently with the college here, plus possibly taking a couple dual enrollment classes on campus...the goal is to get her Associate's the same time as HS diploma. She should be able to do it easily, she has most of her requirements out of the way already. Take advantage of the district paying for her first 2 years of college ..our only cost will be textbooks. She works very hard!
Ty is also doing well in school. Mostly As and a couple Bs...proud of both of them.
That is what has been going on here!
