hours of training. My experience with the training platform as someone who is
visually impaired and uses assistive technology was pretty positive. In the
areas where the technology did not cooperate, I utilized Aira at a free Aira
free access location to complete those inaccessible portions of training.
Overall, the training was comprehensive. The support I have received prior to,
during, and following my training has been top-notch. My coach is always
available to answer questions when I am not actively engaging with texters on
the platform. My fellow crisis counselors and supervisors have also been a
welcoming wealth of knowledge and support on the platform as well. Supervisors
are mental health professionals, and as someone pursuing my master’s in social
work, this encourages me as I enter the profession. There are numerous tools
and resources that are updated frequently to further aid crisis counselors in
engaging our texters. Crisis counselors are encouraged and motivated to grow,
and organizational leadership has been receptive to making necessary changes to
embrace overall growth and development.</span></p>
