It has recently been brought to the attention of the eda- thoughts list, and the edaf that there are many troubled EDAs that don't know where to turn to. In my attempt to help, I created a mailing list for people who want to help, and a webpage for EDAs to go to. This isn't perfected at all, but it's a start. I'm asking if anyone would like to help our EDAs in crisis. The webpage is at http://members.aol.com/angeljlb96/help.html. It's really nothing so far, but if enough people want to help, I'll make it more.

One thought though is to have everyone contact a crisis prevention hotline and see if you can go in for training, or if they can give you a crash course in how to do it, and how to come down from it afterwards. Then we can put all of our resources together and share every way that we learned to handle various situations etc. I am not sure how hard this would be for the East Coasters, but I have a good friend who volunteers at a teen crisis line, and he has to do 30 hours a training every August, and I'm sure he would be happy to help out when possible.

It's in south-central Mass. I'm about 20 minutes from the CT border... not actually a bad place to live - quiet, relaxing, lots of trees & all that stuff. :) I'm about 45 minutes to an hour away from Boston, Springfield, Portsmouth (NH), Hartford, Providence, and a couple beaches... 2-3 hours from Cape Cod (depending on where I'd be headed on the Cape) & lower Maine, ~ 4 hrs from NYC & some real nice places to ski during the winter in VT & NH (if I was actually much of a skier... :) It is small, but it's not really so bad. I wouldn't mind living closer to someplace a little larger, but I don't mind the nature at all. Y'all all feel free to come visit sometime - plenty of spare room for people to sleep. Just DO NOT come up here in the winter. The only thing I *don't* like about this area is all the freaking snow. :) And if you're *REALLY* nice to me, maybe I can take you by the house where they used to keep a cow as a housepet. :) >HEYYYY don't bash CA we KICK ASS! Yes'm. I'll keep that in mind. :) >Hey I know about Worcester! I went through there! It's totally a cute >great little town. Wustah baby! Um... okay. :) Actually, Worcester has a lot to be desired... you'd think that a mid-sized city with 9 or 10 colleges (Becker Jr., Clark U., WPI (my alma mater... :), Assumption, Anna Maria, Holy Cross, Worcester State, QCC, Nichols, and I think one other, that I can't remember right now...) would have a great social scene, with clubs & all sorts of crap to do, and all that, right? I mean, there's buttloads of students there ~9 months out of the year... and a lot of them are locals, anyway... but NO - there are about 3 places for students to hang out in Worcester, the colleges hardly ever do anything in conjunction with another college, and most of the hangouts in Worcester are 21+. Which is fine, if you're over 21... but most college students aren't 21 until the end of their junior year or the beginning of their senior year... if anybody's got some capital, and wants to open a good club in Worcester, make it an "under 21" type of deal... no hassles with liquor licenses, and there's TONS of people that would show up, because you'd have virtually no competition. Publicize it right, and you'll make a killing. :) Worcester is... well, Worcester is Worcester. :) I suppose I'd find it a lot nicer if I hadn't lived in this area for 23 years... it can get pretty boring. :) Kevin - ---------- Kevin Pease kbpease@boston.crosswinds.net (ICQ UIN: 3106063) (AOL Instant Messenger: kbpease) http://www.crosswinds.net/boston/~kbpease "It's just another daybreak, I'm walking holes in the rug, It's just another sunrise, looking out of this hole I dug, It's just another morning, but it gets a little lonely now and then, But I'm one morning closer to having you back again..." ---(Jonathan Edwards, "One Day Closer")--- ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 22 Sep 1998 21:55:38 EDT From: Angeljlb96@aol.com Subject: ET: Kristin Kristin, could you send me your email address?

Jon raises an excellent point... my understanding is that hotlines and similar services will offer training to volunteers... for people who are unable to be there for an EDA-sponsored training session for logistical, time, or monetary reasons, this could be a very good way to get a bit of "official" training... definitely worth looking into.
