“As part of our facility effort to improve staff skills and reduce hands-on interventions, we hosted Charlie Appelstein, MSW to provide two days of training for our direct care employees. The training he provided was phenomenal!! He shared techniques and strategies from his own work with children, which led him to be embraced by the staff as “someone who’s been there”. His enthusiasm, use of humor, and engaging, interactive style resulted in participants yearning for more. Perhaps the most important outcome is the ongoing daily use of the skills he taught us. He has truly made a difference in the care we provide for troubled children and adolescents.
I wholeheartedly recommend this training for any in-patient, residential, or group home facility that is dedicated to the treatment of kids .”
