Summary
I have lots of experience in support in residential settings. At my current job I utilize crisis intervention techniques and individualized care plans to enhance resident well-being. I respond to escalated situations, using training in Mandt and restraining techniques to ensure that patients keep themselves and others safe. I take pride in my level headedness, ability to navigate crisis situations, and ability to build rapport with others. I have years of experience in documentation utilizing both paper and computer program methods.
