Day 2 & 3: Obihiro
The last two days have been jam packed with site visits. We have meet many interesting people who are doing some really great thing in the city of Obihiro. Everyone is excited to share information about their programs. This morning was particularly interesting. We met with a newly formed Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team. We talked about the importance of fidelity, evidenced practices and recovery. One of the ACT team staff was very focused on employment and had great information to share. He will be visiting Madison in July and will be coming to Chrysalis at that time. Below are some photos from the last two days.
