Ep 15 - Maintaining teams from a distance

On this epsidoe we'll be talking about fading and its importance with Tier 2 interventions. Have you ever considered this topic before? Perhaps not as this topic is often overlooked or may be considered late in the game when others implement interventions. Fading is a critical part of any intervention and staff and/or teams who implement interventions need to have an understanding on this topic. Over the course of this episode you'll learn several things about fading such a basic definition, why we should never fade intervention quickly, how to making fading successful, etc... Know that in future epsidoes we'll go over this topic a little more but for now we hope that you're able to sit back, relax and gain a little more understanding about fading.

Ep 25. A year in in review 🎉

In this episode of Meeting Midway, we sit down with Chad Reyes, an expert in Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) training, to break down what CIT is all about and why it’s so vital for first responders. Chad explains the training’s focus on de-escalation techniques, scenario-based learning, and collaboration with mental health professionals, giving listeners an inside look at how it helps law enforcement and other first responders handle crises more effectively. 

Chad goes into detail about several benefits of CIT, including how it helps officers build rapport with individuals in distress and creates positive interactions them as well. He also compares CIT with Missouri’s “Tools of Choice” program, discussing how both help relate to one another. 

The conversation also touches on Chad’s specific role in CIT, where he leads training on intellectual disabilities (IDD) and using role-playing to simulate real-world scenarios. He provides examples of these role-plays, including how responders can handle situations involving high-stress situations.

As the conversation wraps up, Chad highlights the ways that officers can receive ongoing training and refresher courses to keep skills sharp, and shares resources for finding CIT programs in local communities. Whether you’re a first responder or just someone interested in learning more, Chad offers valuable tools and suggestions for further education on this critical topic.

Ep 26. Meeting Midway - Crisis Intervention Teams

Hey everyone,  

Welcome to another episode of *Meeting Midway*! In this episode, we have the incredible honor of speaking with Dr. Steven Hayes—renowned psychologist, author, and the original founder of ACT: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy.  

For those unfamiliar, ACT is a powerful behavioral therapy model focused on helping people live more meaningful lives by embracing psychological flexibility and aligning actions with deeply held values.  

Joining the conversation is Dr. Timothy Weil, Chief Behavior Analyst for the state of Missouri—and a former student of Dr. Hayes. Together, these two experts dive deep into the core principles of ACT, its unique benefits, and its transformative application for individuals diagnosed with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD).  

Listeners will walk away with:  
- A foundational understanding of ACT  
- Insight into how ACT differs from traditional models like CBT  
- Practical examples of how ACT can improve the emotional and behavioral well-being of individuals with IDD  
- Guidance on the role of caregivers and how they can effectively implement ACT strategies  
- Discussion around common barriers and how to navigate them  

This conversation is packed with insight, compassion, and practical tools that can change how you see therapy, caregiving, and even yourself.
