3 trainings in 9 days!

Gosh, November has just flown by for me. On November 7th, we hosted a In Our Own Voice refresher course. We had 12 people there and had a very good training. Then on Thursday, November 8th, I traveled to Louisville to be trained as a NAMI Connections Support Group facilitator. I thought I was going to have to battle with the NAMI National trainers about some of our people receiving their certificates, but all worked out fine and everyone passed the course! That training lasted until Sunday, November 11th. I left Louisville around 2:30pm then went straight to Blue Licks State Park to be trained as a KY Peer Support Specialist. This training lasted until Friday, November 17th. This was a grueling training with lots of information overload that overwhelmed many in the statewide group. We did have time to hear some stories about the battlefield and eat smores by the fireplace in the dining room at the lodge. YUM! I was, to say the least, exhausted by the end of the week. I was glad to be home. Life is good. Exhausting, but good!
