Those who are into archery where do you like to practice shooting? I have a residential home and I am not entirely sure my lot would be legal to practice using my compound bow. Also I have neighbors on most sides of my property so from a safety aspect it’s not the greatest. Any local archery groups that get together?
Hello, me and my family are looking for churches with strong communities for a young couple. We see ourselves as progressive. I have read through a lot of FB and Reddit responses on more progressive leaning churches. So I want to make a more recent thread on some recommendations. I was raised episcopal and went to a Presbyterian church for a while but I’m looking for something more modern maybe some nondenominational options. Anything here like The Venues or The Well in Springfield? Thanks for your input!
Starting a new position as a Co-Occurring Disorder Specialist on an ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) team and looking for advice from those who have worked in ACT or intensive community mental health programs.
A little about me: I’m in recovery myself and have worked in substance use treatment, crisis services, peer support, and community behavioral health. Most recently I’ve worked with individuals experiencing both mental health and substance use challenges, but this will be my first ACT role.
From what I’ve learned so far, ACT seems like a unique blend of case management, counseling, crisis intervention, advocacy, and meeting people where they are literally. I’ll be spending a lot of time in the community helping individuals with serious mental illness and co-occurring substance use disorders navigate recovery and daily life.
For those with ACT experience:
• What do you wish you knew before you started?
• What skills helped you succeed the most?
• What are some mistakes new ACT staff commonly make?
• How do you balance compassion with healthy boundaries?
• Any tips for staying organized with documentation, scheduling, and community visits?
• How do you handle clients who repeatedly disengage, relapse, or cycle through crises?
• What has been the most rewarding part of the work for you?
I’m excited for the opportunity and know there will be a learning curve. I genuinely believe in recovery and feel honored to work with this population. I’d appreciate any advice, lessons learned, book recommendations, or words of wisdom from those who’ve done this work.
Thanks!
Does anybody have experience with the MTB portion of this race? I am interested in signing up but I don’t want to do crazy technical stuff, I’m looking for more of an endurance race. My current set up is a polygon t6 with some mods so not the lightest bike out there.
