Today when I walked into the Clery Center I was scheduled to have a meeting with Abby and Amy. They sent me some feedback on the RA Board Materials that I was working on and they said that I was doing a good job, but that they wanted to make it more community friendly. Not just statistic after statistic that could scare people from reading it. We wanted to make it so that there were not a lot of words on the slides, more pictures and more of informing, not telling them don't do this or don't do that.
So when it came time for the meeting Amy and I had already kind of discussed a plan of action. That we wanted to inform Abby about. We were really excited about it and could not wait to explain it to her. When we explained to her our new idea she loved it. We were gonna have the slides be put in bubbles and then the upper bodies of two people. It was going to be a boy and a girl speaking. That way when people passed by the board it looked like something cool to read. Not to mention that this idea worked better with trying to promote NCSAM and it's events.
We also decided that I would not just be making the NCSAM board, but other boards as well. With topics surrounding NCSAM, things like bystander non-intervention, domestic violence, relationships, drugs, etc. At first I was really nervous because I did not think that I would be able to handle it. Then I realized that in the work place there are going to be many more times where I am going to feel that exact same way. Nervous or scared and still have to do what is asked of me by my employer or even with certain situations with patients. This is a great opportunity for me to overcome that fear now when I can get assistance if needed, then after graduation when that might not always be the case.
