“It’s not enough to simply fix a door; these guys are friendly, warm, comforting presences and are able to engage in de-escalation techniques in the spaces they work in when the need arises. For instance, sometimes the maintenance work happens in people’s private rooms, and the resident may be experiencing paranoia.” Happy Maintenance Worker Appreciation Day! We depend on our amazing in-house team every day to keep our agency running smoothly. Read more on our blog: https://lnkd.in/gXfBmsBs #MaintenanceWorkerAppreciation #MentalHealthAgency
