Kitting crew moves to hospital locationThree people who have been assembling kits for Re-gional Health at BHWI have moved to the hospital’s location on Lombardy Street. They assemble a variety of kits, including dialysis, under pads and IV starter kits. The move is part of an effort to reduce the num-ber of people working in sheltered employment and place them in more integrated work settings. They join BHW crews already working in the hospital’s laundry and the warehouse as well as other staff working on kits at that location. Bill Pashby says that, between the main facility and Lombardy Street, 35 to 37 people supported by Black Hills Works are currently em-ployed by the hospital. In another new development at Regional Health, one of the laundry employees is now also helping to collate note pads and booklets used in training hospital staff.

It was a standing room only at the Books-A-Million cafe on April 20 when the new book of poetry by “JJ” James Janis was released. The purpose of the book, The Chair is Not Me, is to raise awareness about people who live with diverse abilities. The book contains 18 poems. One of the things that JJ hopes to accomplish in his writing is improved understanding of people with disabilities. One poem, also named “The Chair is Not Me,” was inspired by an actual event where a child whom JJ met in a grocery store was discouraged by his mother from asking JJ questions about his disability. In an interview JJ did with Heather Pickering prior to the book’s publication, he said, “From the 50s when I was born all the way up to the 80s and the 90s, nobody was talking about it (disability), or they were talking about stuff and they were getting the wrong idea. So, for me, if I don’t want people to have the wrong idea and set them straight, I have to speak on behalf of myself.” JJ says understanding has improved greatly over the years, but there is still much to be done. “I guess that’s why I did the book.” The book took JJ two years to complete with support from Heather Pickering. It was illustrated by

Margaret Jones, Frontline Leader at Edwards C, has been involved in an 18-month journey to be creden-tialed as a Frontline Supervisor. She is the first of our Frontline Leaders to successfully complete the pro-gram and achieve her certification from National Alli-ance for Direct Support Professionals, Inc., (NADSP), a nationally-recognized organization. NADSP has National Frontline Supervisor Competencies (NFSC), an evidence-based set of knowledge, skills and abilities that reflect best prac-tice in the supervision of Direct Support Professionals (DSP) who work with individuals with disabilities in residential, work, and community settings. Nationally recognized and validated competencies also serve to promote the recognition of the role of Frontline Su-pervisors, the development of career ladders, and the development of a more competent, stable workforce to meet the growing demand of long-term services and supports. Margaret worked hard to complete the require-ments for the certification which included developing a portfolio of her work, completing a statement of professional commitment, developing a professional resume, completing three work samples which in-cluded presentations, a reflective statement of 1,000 words, and evidence to support her project. She also had to complete at least 50 hours of related supervi-sor training and commit to the NADSP code of ethics. Michelle Aman says, “We are super proud of Margaret completing the work and paving the way for others to improve services to folks with disabilities.”

Very early this morning, I was at Regional Hospi-tal Physical Therapy Department. While there I was speaking with my physical therapist who had wonder-ful things to say regarding our nursing department. She really spoke highly of our AWESOME! MSAs! She stated that in the last couple of years our MSAs are more knowledgeable. They are willing to help and learn the exercises to take home and share with the staff. They notice that the exercises are being done properly because of this. She complimented you on your willingness to work around schedules, that you are not late for appointments. That the informa-tion you share is accurate and if you do not know you find out. She spoke of Jean and her ability to really know the person and their family. She spoke of Paula and her ability to be a strong advocate for the people she is helping. She spoke of Deb and her kindness. I, of course, added Candice and Angie to the list of great MSAs they will meet at some point! She stated in the last couple of years they have noticed that the nurses are easier to work with and they have built a better reputation at the hospital. They enjoy getting to know us, and our willingness to work with them in difficult situations. All of this made me feel wonderful to be part of a great team. Kimberly, I think your leadership is what has set us apart from other medical departments in Rapid City. I was beaming when I left and I hope that you all are beaming after reading this! Have a great day! JoAnne Pryor LPNBlack Hills Works Nursing

Artist Jeff McGlade honored

The Suzie Cappa Art Center hosted a brunch on Sun-day, April 29 to honor the 2018 Artist of the Year, Jeff McGlade. Jeff has been involved at the Black Hills Works Suzie Cappa Art Center since 2010. Over the years, he has experimented with many different mediums, most recently acrylic painting. Artist in Residence Mary Wipf says, “Like many artists, Jeff was a wanderer, kind of trying out one thing and then another.” And then one day a couple of years ago, she led a group project on the work of Vincent van Gogh. “We were looking at the direction of the strokes and examining the pictures in the book of van Gogh’s work and some-thing clicked for Jeff. And since then, he has been very focused and very self-directed in working on these paintings.” That focus and self-direction combined with a lot of hard work are why Jeff was selected for this honor.

Spreading the word about TBIRC

A goodbye journeyAt the Frontline Leader Gallery Walk held last fall, Mary Corneliuson presented about Frontline Supervi-sor Competency #1, specifically communicating effec-tively using active listening skills and interacting using most culturally effective methods of communications. In 2006, Mary began working with “Sally” who uses signs, gestures, and body language to com-municate. Mary says she learned to communicate with Sally using reference books on sign language and attending classes on signing. “I learned the most from my time spent listening and practicing signs with Sally.” Mary says Sally smiles, makes buzzing noises, and waves her hands when she’s happy or excited. She stomps her feet, makes loud noises, slaps or hits her head, and bites her right hand when she is frustrated, upset or angry. She cries when she’s sad. In 2014, Mary learned that Sally’s dad was bat-tling cancer. That meant fewer visits with Sally. This led to more incidents that Sally’s father referred to as “meltdowns.” Mary asked Sally’s mother what signs and statements the family used to reassure her and decrease her frustration. They agreed on telling Sally that Dad was sick but is going to doctors for medica-tion and shots to get better. Mary made sure all DPSs knew the message and the signs to use to communicate it. The result was fewer incidents of frustration from Sally. Staff also laminated a photo of Sally’s dad for her to carry in her purse. When it was clear Sally’s father wasn’t going to get better, Mary began to prepare Sally for his death

by telling her that doctors were finished and there would be no more medicine and shots for her dad. Sally became upset and signed “yes doctors, medicine, and shots for Dad.” But DSPs and family continued to reinforce the message that the “doctors were finished.” Mary also began researching appropriate signs to communicate with Sally about the impending funer-al. April 2015 was Sally’s last month with her father, Sally’s mother taught Mary and Sally the signs for “heaven” and the message that her Sally’s dad is now in heaven like her grandpa is. Mary shared these signs and message with other DSPs. Mary’s effort to learn to communicate in the best way for Sally made all the difference in getting her through a difficult time. Sally has fewer meltdowns now and no lon-ger wears a helmet to help protect her head from self abuse. She till carries the same photo of her father in her purse every day.

Congratulations and thank you to Meredith Beachy who was named April’s Volunteer of the Month by Black Hills Works and the Suzie Cappa Art Center. Meredith volunteers at SCAC, cleaning, as-sisting people supported with their art, helping Carla Julius with anything she needs done, and painting. “Carla is super sweet, and has confidence in me to let me do projects on my own,” says Meredith. Matthew McCaskell, Volunteer Manager and Outreach Coordinator, says Meredith always comes in with a smile and is ready to help out with any projects Carla has going on. Meredith says she loves seeing the people we support, talking with them, and hearing the stories they have to tell. “Even if it is the smallest task they ask me to help with, I feel that it helps in the biggest way,” says Meredith. SCAC staff are grateful to have Meredith down at Suzie Cappa with them. “She is very pleasant and happy to jump in, and help with whatever,” says Carla. Thank you Meredith!

My team is my why This monthly feature gives employees an opportunity to explain what they find most fulfilling in their jobs. This month, we hear from Accounting Manager, Con-nie Hansen. If you would like to share your “why,” email it to drosby@bhws.com.

I’ve worked at BHW for 29 years now. If you would have asked me at anytime during the first year or so I would have told you that I didn’t think this job was for me. However my supervisor recognized my abili-ties and job carved a position that worked for me. The job is challenging, always changing and the results are rewarding. Even though I don’t work direct care, I recognize that what I do ultimately helps staff pro-vide services for people with disabilities. The reason I have been able to stay so long is because I have a very strong team that I can rely on which consists of my supervisors, co-workers and staff. We don’t always agree, but we do respect each other’s opinion and ac-cept direction as given.

A toast to DSP perseverance At the DSP Gallery Walk on March 9, Laurie Eisen-braun presented on Participant Empowerment, using the example of “Ben,” a gentlemen who had lived most of his life in an institution before coming to Black Hills Works. Ben is in his 60’s and needs support around the clock. He speaks single words and some phrases and deals with severe arthritis and other health is-sues that limit his mobility and dexterity. Despite this, Laurie describes him as a “very jolly fellow that loves to laugh and joke around.” “When I first started working with Ben, I learned quickly when he wants something he points to it and then closes his hands and hits one hand on the other as a type of sign language communication,” says Laurie. “Every morning he did this and pointed to-ward the bread and toaster in the kitchen. Sometimes, he would say ‘toast.’” Ben was able to make his own instant coffee with support from staff and was very proud of that, so Laurie decided that if he might be able to make his toast as well. When she asked him if he wanted to, the answer was clear. “He got excited, clapped, smiled and hollered ‘toast,’ as he clasped his hands and pounded one against the other in his signing way.” That began the process that would take many months of repetition and hand-over-hand support as Ben learned everything from plugging in the toaster to putting the bread in and taking it out, to buttering his toast. “Ben was so enthralled with this he looked into the toaster the entire time it cooked,” says Laurie. “Ben laughed really loudly hollering, ‘toast!’” It took many months, but Laurie says that finally Ben no longer needed prompting to plug in the toaster, put in the bread, take out the toast and butter it. Laurie has since moved on to another home, but her replacement continues to support Ben as he makes his own toast and coffee.

Choose Rapid City, then page down to Power of B Recognition Award, launch the document and print. Send your nominations to Alexi Kieffer at RSC. Winners receive $50 and a Power of B T-shirt. Their story appears in The Workplace. Please give specific examples of how your nominee demonstrates the POWER of B.

The power behind the Power of B Natalie Olson sent the photo below and this expla-nation for why she wanted it in the Workplace. We received the Power of B recognition and shirts from MSA Paula Pederson. She nominated ALL THE STAFF at Hampton for Power of B because of our efforts in working with doctors and nutritionist and our nurse to help a person supported in our home gain some weight to be considered healthy again. If she didn’t gain weight, she was at risk for more seizures and other health issues, and it was kind of a big deal. However, what Paula doesn’t realize is that we could not have done what we did if she wasn’t working outside of her limits with us in getting this done. She deserves just as much recognition as we do and I wish we could gift her with an awesome wheelchair van like we have at Hampton because she and other MSA’s deserve a proper van to assist folks around to their appointments. But since we cannot do that, I would really appreciate you for life if you could put this photo in the newsletter and call out Paula for being so awesome at her job and let her know how thank-ful we are to have her on our team. The photo is of us staff members at Hampton in our Power of B shirts we received because of her and we just want her to know how much we appreciate everything she does for us as our MSA. She is the best of the best and we are proud to have her in our corner!
