Crisis Intervention Training Held in Fremont

We were honored to host the Crisis Intervention Team introductory training yesterday, in partnership with the City of Fremont and the City of Newaygo Police Departments.

This collaborative initiative brings together law enforcement, mental health professionals, and community members to improve responses to individuals experiencing a mental health crisis and reduce stigma. The training featured experts in mental health, law enforcement procedures, court systems, and homelessness, and concluded with group scenarios to apply what was learned.

We look forward to seeing this program grow and expand to further support the evolving needs of our community.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this impactful day possible!

Ms. Dunn's AM Business Management students put their manager hats on today as they reviewed Customer Complaint Makeover's . They had to chose which "employee" they would keep or give a raise to as they reviewed the professional responses where they had to turn a negative customer complaint around while protecting the company's image. Many had new learning as they used Whiteboard to collaborate online to type what it looks like for traditional customer service vs. digital customer service.

On Friday, our Community Play & Learn group had such an amazing time exploring Riverfront Park! Families walked the paved trail with magnifying glasses in hand, searching for all sorts of interesting things in nature. 🐛🍂🔍

Along the way, we stopped by the granary and got to witness trucks being filled with corn — such a neat, real-world learning moment! 🚜🌽 To top it off, one of the truck drivers came over and surprised the kids with FREE hats. Their smiles said it all.

What a wonderful day of discovery, learning, and community connection!
