Day 8

  When I walked today in they wanted to me to write up a Thank you letter to all of the organizations that have signed up for the NCSAM toolkit. So far we have 87 organizations, which is fantastic. I am using the website Constant Contact, which allows you to send mass emails out in a very professional form. They called it an email blast, kind of like when we get the GMC message alerts on the portal. This would be something that everyone got at the same time.
     Constant contact is a really cool website. Amy showed me how to set everything up. How to change the pictures, write text, etc. When we were finished it looked like a flyer but it had a Thank You letter within it. So it was able to give the supporters an update and promote NCSAM at the same time. Also the woman in charge of the organization PAVE (Prevention. Awareness. Victim. Empowerment) created a wonderful video that we attached as well.
     I found this useful because in any job there is the paper work aspect. You are always going to need to know how to communicate to others in a professional manner. So whether I am a therapist, a crisis hotline interventionist, guidance counselor, or continue to work in the non-profit feild this would be a much needed skill in the psychology field.
