Testimonials

I wanted to share some thoughts on the ICR training I attended last week at the Davis Youth Center. I had serious apprehension about the training, and I also had some anxiety about having to commit an entire week to it. However, it turned out to be a very rewarding experience. The structure and format is greatly improved over previous trainings for this material. It was presented in a professional manner. The trainers, Lindsey and Pete, were well prepared with an agenda, goals, expectations, and outcomes. The course was difficult, but, given our line of work, to be expected. The trainers are to be commended for their commitment to the task, and their willingness to make it a good experience for those of us being trained. While it was exhausting at times, and somewhat worrisome of the expected requirements to pass, the trainers built a sense of teamwork based on the attitude of "no man left behind". Some of the class struggled a little more than others, but all worked together to achieve success for all. There was a very positive feeling at the completion of the course. Even though I was very reluctant to leave my caseload for a week, it ended up feeling somewhat like a vacation from my Case Management position. What I was dreading for weeks before, turned out to be a good mental and emotional release. I feel the developers and trainers of this new material should be given some well-deserved praise, and I am glad to give some. I hope others feel the same.

I attended the ICR training last week and the two trainers did an awesome job. Their message was very clear and precise from day one on how important the training is to our daily work and that the trainees has to pass three tests; two written and one physical. They were very professional and well prepared in presenting the materials. They made sure that everyone understood & were comfortable before we continued to different parts of the training. They were very serious about everyone having to pass the test and at the same time made it fun. Their mentality or motto was that, "no one would be left behind," and our group fed off it.
