[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 403651, member: 1233"] Welcome! If the facility hasn't trained you then you need to go to HR and ask for more training (after you speak with your boss first and take notes of the discussion). In this case (no or not enough training), document each discussion in a letter, memo or email sent to "make sure I understand our earlier discussion" or to "confirm what we discussed this afternoon", etc... Keep track of these and make sure they are dated. If you get replies to them, keep those also. You mentioned legal issues and this can help you a LOT in a legal situation. I would include a line that asks the other person to reply if soemthing was misunderstood or mis-stated in the letter. Then if you get no reply you can assume you got it right. If they reply verbally make another email about that. Timerlady is an excellent resource on RTCs and kids with Reactive Attachment Disorder (RAD), etc... She has great ideas and really knows her stuff. We have others who have had a lot of familiarity with RTCs and they will come along soon. Thanks so much for caring enough to work in an Residential Treatment Center (RTC) and enough to seek us out and ask questions. The kids need more people like this in their worlds! [/QUOTE]
