Reflections from participating in Training in Georgia

Although I've been part of training and consulting a few times over the last 10 years, my participation always reaffirms the blessing I feel to work and provide high quality services for the consumers at The Arc of Delaware County.

Many organizations across the country are eager to learn how to improve their service provision to consumers to achieve even greater benefits. It's really terrific that The Arc of Delaware County is such an inspiration for other agencies serving individuals with developmental disabilities. The staff at these agencies truly devour both the behavioral technology and the leadership approaches we use to such great effect in our own organization. It is humbling yet very gratifying to be told that we are such a motivation to them. We are able to provide them with hands on knowledge and skills. It makes a hugh difference to agencies that we walk the same walk every day and understand the realities and challenges. We were told on this trip that we're their heroes!

I always return invigorated and energized, which positively impacts the work I do for the individuals we serve in Delaware County.
