I recently started working with MNCIT and doing crisis intervention with the Minneapolis Police Department and several other departments right outside of the Cities. It's been an amazing experience working on one on one scenarios in deescalation techniques based in communication and empathy rather than force. I've found the work extremely gratifying especially in today's social and political climate. It's also pretty exhausting both physically and emotionally. Channel 11 came in last week and did some recording...apparently I made the cut.
