|I feel that first aid and CPR training not only give people the ability to help others, but that ability and the willingness to use it can provide a sense of community with others. So in addition to teaching the regular course skills I seek to instill the confidence to apply them. These are the roots of my passion for teaching these courses.

|While working for Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare, where I rose to be director of training, I was certified in two de-escalation programs. I then began doing trainings for Multnomah County, including the library, health department, animal control and mutliple other departments. I have also done trainings for Oregon DMV, Oregon Bar Association, several religious institutions and for the past seven years, the Portland NET program. De-escalation is a vital skill, whether helping people at a disaster site, or with family, neighbors, or people you may encounter in the street. I have been a licensed therapist ffor thirty years.
