Green Chimneys Week 4

This past week we dove into what areas of training, that we were interested in. I learned about the kids Ill be working with, I even met a few of them.  We have 1 last week of training, where I will observe classes and be assign a dorm to look after.

Green Chimneys week 3

This week we were taught Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) and how to perform restraints if we ever needed to.  It was a long 28 hours but, I did learn a few new things that could provide useful in any situation.  This next week we should be having the dorms that we will be working with assigned to us, after we finish blood borne pathogens training.

Green Chimneys week 2

This was my second week of training I work with the staff and the other interns but we have also been partnered up, to help us learn faster. For the rest of the month I work 6 days a week with Sunday off.  This up coming week is the last training week I believe this upcoming week will be different than the last two instead of learn about how to take care of ourselves on the farm we will go through training for work with the kids that attend Green Chimneys.

week 1 at Green Chimneys internship

This was the first week of my internship at Green Chimneys, During this week I learned the schedule and inter-workings of the farm and animals.  In the upcoming week I will go through more train with the other interns and the staff to learn the kids schedules and what to do in situations, I will also be meeting interns that I don't already live with or work with directly.
Overall the first week helped me adjust to the schedules and set me up to succeed this upcoming week.
