I was asked to participate in an interview for public television in Thurston Co WA (TCTV) last week for their program “Stay Safe Thurston County.” In addition to de-escalation trainings and personal safety consultations, I like to do these “public” interviews to share my knowledge with the general public.
I’ve had the good fortune to work more in Thurston County in the last year and I’ve witnessed the work of a range of professionals doing what they can to provide outreach, support, empathy, and care to a wide range of needs. All of this work is amplified during this pandemic, where issues like Isolation, Anxiety, Depression, and Domestic Violence are on the rise across the country and world.
Embedded is the full 20 minute interview. Thank you for your time.
