Within the bustling hive of activity that is the Parkersburg site of Children's Home Society of WV, this Saturday morning has a Crisis Prevention Institute ("CPI") training going on while the sun TRIES to warm up this crisp, frosty morning. We have trainings A LOT at the site, because of all the programs and needs to have staff and foster parents prepared for their work. Lately, the blend of people at the trainings is intriguing and exciting, as we have foster parents, shelter staff, staff from various other programs all merged together. We so appreciate Bruce coming up from Charleston to do this particular training on a Saturday morning to accommodate some foster parents, and he does such a great job of making the content of the training relevant to such a cross section of people!!!
Carna comes in and "hosts" and sets up a welcoming refreshment "stand" and make people feel welcome and appreciated!! Andy, from the shelter, takes the class as a refresher, and renews an acquaintance with someone he worked with in Calhoun County!!!
Getting people connected, making everyone feel apart of something bigger and exciting, and helping kids and families, and striving for lifetime commitments and connections!
