Winsor Consult Group - Disaster Recovery Guide: A Best Practice Guide for Disaster Recovery Programs
The inevitable re-occurrence of natural disasters, whatever their form may take, creates an urgent need for preparation. However, as these disasters are sporadic and their outcomes unpredictable, many of our communities face difficulties in utilizing lessons learned from prior disasters to create comprehensive recovery plans. With the knowledge gained from our own, and from others', experiences, Winsor Consult Group presents this book with the goal of encouraging communities to plan for faster, more efficient recoveries and to help others recover from any potential devastation with speed, efficiency and compassion.This book outlines best practices and factors to consider when designing and implementing a disaster recovery plan. Since every disaster is unique, the recovery process must be tailored to meet the needs of the specific disaster and the community affected, while simultaneously complying with the regulations of federal, state and local governing agencies. Winsor Consult Group presents a framework for decision making, balancing the need for speed and accuracy with the limitations of cost and administrative burden.

Deliberate practice exercises help students and trainees rehearse fundamental cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) skills to develop basic competence and hone their own personal therapeutic style.Each book in the Essentials of Deliberate Practice series contain customized exercises consisting of role-playing scenarios in which two trainees act as a client and a therapist, switching back and forth under the guidance of a supervisor. The trainee playing the therapist improvises appropriate and authentic responses to a series of client statements organized into three difficulty levels-beginner, intermediate, and advanced-that reflect common problems and concerns encountered by CBT practitioners. The first exercises each focus on a single skill, such as establishing goals for treatment assigning and reviewing between-session exercises working with various client cognitions, behaviors, and emotions and addressing relationship ruptures and client resistance. These are followed by two comprehensive exercises-an annotated transcript and free-form mock therapy sessions-in which trainees integrate these essential skills into a single CBT session.Step-by-step instructions guide participants through the exercises, identify criteria for mastering each skill, and explain how to monitor and adjust difficulty. Guidelines to help trainers and trainees get the most out of training are also provided.
