Intervention Challenges & Strategies

In this episode, we interviewed our very own Melody Jacobs to talk about the status of Elijah Rising interventions. Since COVID we had to limit the number of volunteers being utilized on outreach, but now we are beginning to open back up. While some interventions were paused, we were able to develop new volunteer training material, and we made it easier to get involved. We also talk about some of the challenges we encounter in intervention and some of the strategies we are currently using to reach people and build relationships.
