Advocates Co-Response Training & Technical Assistance Center
As we continue moving through our collective life in the Covid-19 pandemic, we at Advocates Co-Response Training and Technical Assistance Center (CR-TTAC) have worked with our partners to offer care while also being members of our shared communities.
Each month, we will highlight reflections from members of our clinical staff who share what they have been learning, offering, receiving, and thinking about as they engage this work in challenging circumstances.
This month, Melissa Duarte - Jail Diversion Supervisor, Watertown PD - shares her thoughts in response to each of the three guiding questions we offered.
