CCAP um as you can see on the slide my last name spelled backwards is why are you okay and I always say because of recovery so I'm a person in long-term recovery [Music] um so um yeah 20 years my sober date is October 25th 2000. so I'm about 19 and a half years something like that so I'm grateful for that my life has completely changed prior to doing this I was a roadie stagehand um I've worked with Grateful Dead The Rolling Stones um pretty much anybody that has come to California between 1984 and 1998 so um it was a great fun life however addiction um and me didn't go hand in hand with that type of Lifestyle so I was lucky to to find recovery and to go to school and become a certified addiction counselor and I had no idea that that doing that would become uh hi starlene would become this amazing 20-year career but but it has and that's why you guys are here something um you know I always like to say if I'd like to say it but I always say that um something happened that made you decide to become a drug and alcohol addiction counselor some kind of event most people don't wake up and just say you know I think I'll become a drug and alcohol counselor because that sounds exciting and it is and there's a lot of rewards to it but usually you have a family member you have a um personal experience I mean something happened that made you decide to take this course I mean this course I don't mean this nine hour course I mean the course of what it takes to become a certified alcohol drug counselor and this is the beginning of that basically I mean if you're in this course you have registered or you need to register as a radt as a drug and alcohol counselor a register to Dixon drug technician a trainee and you're embarking on this and you need this nine hour course to satisfy your requirements to turn in your application so hopefully we're going to cover a lot of good stuff for you today as Christina mentioned I've been doing I do ethics with I have a six hour ethics training that I do with phds and doctors and other certified counselors I have a three hour renewal course I do which you'll have to do every year after you complete this one for your five years um do the icrc exam prep I do the this nine hour course this two-day course and so um and many other things too lots of sober livings to kind of quantify myself just a little bit um I've had pretty much every position you could have in a treatment program I went in as a resident I became a volunteer I was a cook I was a driver while I went to school then I came in as an intern it's been six years as a count certified counselor and then program director and deputy director and four years as a executive director so um I've I've done it all from being the resident to being the executive director and so and everything in between so um CCAP has been thank you Nicole so CCAP has been amazing um I was part of CCAP as you may or may not know is a is a [Music] um collaboration of two former agencies called Carr and kdap that were both around for over 30 years so CCAP is two agencies that both you know combine 60 years of experience in 2015 we became CCAP and I was on I was on that uh board of directors and on that committee that was part of the us joining so I've been here with c cap since the Inception myself and Christina and Pete Nielsen our CEO and Sherry Daley our our vice president of communications so we have a really good core of people we really see cap is just an amazing organization we're glad you're here and we're looking for um long-term relationship with all of you as you go on through your credentialing processes and coming to our conferences and as I said I'm the membership manager so let me put my email in here if you have any questions um you can email me and I'd be very happy to um help you with what I can I'm not in that um you know per se in the education department or the credentialing department but obviously as membership manager I'm connected all of those things so I'm very happy to help you we also have Larry Hearn here who is amazing and I could never do any of these things without them so he will be you may see him answer some of your questions over on the side you'll be putting up the polls and he shows up as CCAP credentialing education as the host but really that's Larry and um so thank you Larry um you know I'm not the uh I'm probably frustrated anyway but I'm not the oh he's the best uh most best uh technical person in the world but I've I've been able to catch on or a lot of it's by coaching from Larry when we went into this covid-19 thing and I started working from home you know you see the CCAP Banner behind me and um I've been working from home because uh you know and this has opened up a whole new opportunity so I know many of you are probably at home um you're doing your thing yeah say Hello Larry Larry's the man um he gets all this stuff ready I have the easy job I just show up and talk and I can do that you know so um he does all this uh setting this all up for you guys so um you know his his role is just as important if not more important than what I'm doing I'm I'm on here giving you the information but he's a certified counselor too so anyway um he understands everything so we're all here to help you Christina me the whole CCAP team and um so today we uh just a couple things you got the chat box over here that you've seen you guys are already using it so if you have questions I'll try to answer them as best as I can if you could please try and keep the topics to the training because if you start asking me about I turned in my application and it's been a month or I haven't heard anything or what do I do with the I really um I mean I can give you the links or I can give you you know direct you about to the education department but I don't review any of that stuff that's not really in my purview um so and so we can get as much as we can out of tickets there's a lot of material to cover it was over 100 slides there's a lot make sure you're on here the whole time um there will be poll questions along the way and um stuff at the end for you to fill out I'll be putting out handouts but you know ethically you should be on here the whole time make sure you get all the information so you can get your full nine hours if we see you sign off or if something happens then the program keeps track of that and you won't get credit so make sure you're here today and tomorrow it'll be four hours today of of my material and then we have um a representative from tip coming on later this afternoon I think at four which is who you guys are affiliated with so she's gonna have a slideshow and some information for you and then tomorrow we'll do five hours from 12 to 5 so that you get your full nine hours your certificates will come to you based on your emails and so probably more than likely next week at some time you'll get an email from Ali um with your nine hour course and then you can complete your stuff but I would try to answer all your questions as best as I can like I said I'm glad you guys are all here and um yeah we got a lot to cover but um the only thing I want to mention is you know you guys are like at the beginning of your journey but uh you know how exciting is that you know that you you've you've made a choice you've committed to this and wherever you're going to school or wherever you're getting if it's CCAP Academy or junior college or if you're getting you're in you know how if you're getting your internship hours which you will be soon once you acquire your registration letter there's just so much to learn I mean and the one thing I can show you all this stuff and we're going to go through all these slides and all this stuff is super important all the stuff you're going to learn in the books is important all the philosophy all the stuff but the one thing that we can't teach is experience oh yeah Janet thank you for reminding me yeah um I will give a 10 minute break at the uh 10 minutes to each hour so at I mean if you have to go the right you have to let me know I mean if you have to go use the restroom go use the restroom but um at 10 minutes to each hour so at you know 1250 150 250 350 we'll take a break from 10 till and come back on the hour so I always call that the biology break so I'll tell you okay time for your biology break you know some of you probably have kids at home some of you might actually be at work I'm not sure but we'll make sure that you have time to use the restroom um either peanut butter and jelly sandwich or whatever you need to do because we're going to be here for the next four and a half hours so but yeah I will give you a 10 minute break uh before you shower so thank you for reminding me of that Janet I appreciate that and so let's kind of get so let's get started here um so we kind of did some introductions some of the stuff we're going to cover today ethics boundaries confidentiality well not all today but over this next two days counselor Wellness you taking care of you um self-evaluation clinical supervision so these are all very very important um when we get to confidentiality um we're in about 42 CFR and HIPAA and all those kinds of things there have been some oh a few um not really amendments but 42 CFR has changed a little bit with the covid so I'll give you some information if you want to look at that um so we've done introductions so before we get started let me um talk a little bit about CCAP CCAP basically is three organizations in the morning I know you see four columns here but we're basically three organizations one education membership and credentialing and so we're a membership organization first which is my department um so you have an 18 person board of directors that's our 501 C6 um so that's our main organization then we we break off into education and credentialing which are both 501 c3s and they each have a six person board so basically um you're represented by members of the community members of the members of the board may or may not be people that are in recovery or usually in recovery but may not work it may or may not work in treatment it can be attorneys it could be a lot of different things um but you know you're represented by all those different people and even though we're all Under One Roof all those departments are are separate so we're three organizations in one so we're kind of One Stop shopping recovery resources is um our fourth uh little Dimension which is sober livings and um things like that so um and just Recovery Services in general so because we're not CCAP isn't just about treatment right we're also about recovery so if you look at education you know CCAP is educating addiction focused professionals by supplying quality options for schools and providers and features the only annual Multicultural conference we just had our Multicultural conference we had to do it virtually but it was amazing it was all done online but it was it was awesome um Christina who you saw at the beginning because you know pretty much organizes all that stuff her and our CEO Pete Nielsen um CCAP Academy some of you may be enrolled in the CCAP Academy that's the one-year course that gets you your formal education so that you can um you know apply for your credential and satisfies all that I'm blessed enough to uh along with these types of trainings I also teach the CCAP Academy I just got done doing um this last module on physiology and pharmacology and I'll be doing this next module coming up as well so um love teaching and helping develop our future Workforce which is you um with all this covid-19 stuff that's going on I think there's a lot of stuff going on behind closed doors um I know the alcohol sales are up I'm sure the drug use is up and I'm sure that domestic violence is up I'm sure everything's up um we're probably not going to hear about most of it until all this stuff calms down and people start coming back out again but the counselors are going to be in high demand I can guarantee it you know it's um because I know when things like this happen and people start getting stressed out and and locked up not literally locked up but having to quarantine and all these things that are going on and the kids can't go to school and everybody's on top of each other um and there's just lots of stress there's gonna be a need for our services um I talked a little bit so membership membership is um you can become you as councilors can become individual members that's a hundred dollars a year you get counselor magazine which Larry does pretty much most of that it's an amazing Magazine with some great articles you get that every couple months plus other benefits and foreign things like that recovery resources is our sober livings and um like I said recovery support and then credentialing is when you go to get your certification so credentialing is the one that actually certifies you and keeps track of all your CEUs and monitors your you know keeping you up to date because every two years you're gonna have to renew that credential and you're gonna have to have 50 hours of continue education every two years once you get certified as an RDG you're going to take this nine hour course and then as long as you're registered up through those five years you'll do your three hour renewal every year but once you registered or certified you're gonna have to um start getting those CEUs okay um so let's talk a little bit about the background why why you even have to be registered now why you even have to do the stuff that you're having to do because it didn't used to be that way when I started we didn't have to register that didn't come in until like 2005. so dadp is the Department of alcohol and drug program and you know their intent was to to eliminate the gaps in regulations because you know people are going to counseling it used to only be that you know if you want to be a drug counselor you might go to Denny's and somebody will say so why do you want to be a drug counselor I want to help people okay you're hired um you know we started to get more and treatment programs used to be like that too there was no formal formal overview of it so then they started looking at all those kinds of things like you know how do we formalize this how do we know people are how do we know people are um able to do this work and not harm other people you know because uh you know there has to be something so for various reasons including the elimination of Department of alcohol and drug programs which is what it used to be they used to be Mental Health Department of alcohol and drug programs now there's just Department of Health Care Services um and they started to come up the drug medical waiver and they started talking you know um parity where you could actually insurance would actually pay for drug treatment because it didn't used to be that didn't you know even though it's always been a chronic illness been a chronic illness since 1957 and you could always get disability for going into treatment insurance companies didn't recognize they didn't recognize it the same as if you broke your arm or if if something happened you had to go in and get a medical procedure done are you turn in the insurance and it gets paid for but it wasn't like that for alcohol and drug addiction so it is now um so by late 2011 when recreated Edition by ice or Noca so ice and Oak are the national certifying agencies that certify us we don't see cap or KD or cadapt which are the three certifying organizations we don't just get to make up um what we think you should do to get credentialed there's actually you know just like we oversee you they oversee us we have to submit every five years what we're going to be doing what we have to meet there criteria um which is always changing so um you know we have to be accountable to them and we get audited by them and they show up and they look through our stuff and and so it's not just like you know we get to say hey you know what do we want to do to make these uh people get certified there's actually a um a couple organizations that oversee us make sure that we're doing it right um there used to be 10 certifying organizations but when they made all these restrictions or not restrictions they made all these regulations many of them dropped out they said it's too much work we don't want to have to do all that every five years but CCAP stepped up obviously and said hey we'll do it and so um there's three left now there's adapt there's Katie and there's us and Katie was out for a couple years there um because of some of the regulations and stuff that had to be met so a lot of their counselors came over to us there was only two for a little while there but they're back in the game so um that's an option too um the idea was to bring some standardization to the counselor certification program instead of just having people out there willy-nilly uh summer certified some Ara nobody's registered nobody knows who's an intern or who's what you know one day you're in treatment the next day you're sitting behind a desk counseling people they needed to come up with some kind of standardized system that you know everybody had to abide by so that's where all this came in um like it says at the bottom by 2013-14 due to various circumstances mergers which was kadak and Carr and just over time there's only three of us left so um you know we're happy you're here with CCAP and we hope you continue to be here with CCAP um in 2012 calco um calcco developed the uniform code of conduct so um which is well let me finish that which has been uniformly implemented by all certified organizations have been accepted by the Department of Healthcare Services by the state basically what that is and I'm going to hand it out to you guys I have it as a handout so I'll hand it out to you guys a little bit we're going to go over it um basically that was the leaders of the three organizations getting together and deciding that there needs to be some kind of uniform some kind of standard code of conduct because it used to be if somebody did an Ethics violation each organization have their own way of dealing with the ethics hearing or the the procedure and could hand out whatever you know penalty or sanction that they deemed necessary and so you could have an Ethics violation with CCAP or you could have an Ethics violation with um cadap you could have an Ethics violation with Katie all three of them the same all three might have different punishments depending on which one you were with so what they decided was this calco was formed and it was the leaders of the three organizations getting together and hammering out a ethical I call it the penal code and it was a lot of work and Larry was on that [Music] um was on that team he was part of the one that developed this document I'm going to show you um but basically was just a lot of back and forth about um you know okay if somebody does this specific uh you know incident or this specific violation what are the penalties going to be and so everybody went back forth back and forth back and forth and they created this document and so now all the agencies abide by this same document so in the Department of Healthcare Services has recognized that document so um now we have a standardized form of you know ethics sanctioning and ethics violations so that we're everything's across the board instead of it just being all Wild Wild West so um we're going to talk about how that works um I'm gonna go off the camera for a minute here so I can um um but I'm still here so with every um so we're talking about this little uniform code of conduct and like I said once we get through this I'll hand it out to you um but the uh you know it said on these three principles basically principle one that sud counselors will conduct themselves in an honest forthright and professional manner that registrants which is you guys are about to be you guys um anybody else hear me should be able to hear me okay yeah check your check your um internet thank you guys check your internet Yolanda sometimes um it's your internet because it looks like everybody else can hear me and I can see my microphones on so um either refresh your browser or you may need to move closer to your a router thank you everybody um but yeah I would uh refresh your page Yolanda and see if that helps you okay so registrants which is you guys are going to be you guys and councils are prohibited from engaging the commission of any dishonest corrupt fraudulent or substantially related to the qualifications functional duties of a registered counselor right so I mean you know being in Integrity doing the right thing conducting yourself as a professional uh principle two is that it counts as you substance use disorder Council or maintained professionally appropriate boundaries with clients and family members of clients and she'll conduct themselves in a professional non-exploitive and lawful manner so um just as it says you know that you're going to we're going to talk about boundaries during this course we're going to talk about professional conduct we're going to talk about all that kind of stuff Okay so um hopefully you know for me you know I was pretty lucky I had I had a uh okay cool Yolanda welcome back um I had a good upbringing I didn't have a family that was um alcoholic or addicted like I was my family my grandma my dad my mom they all went to Berkeley they were all um you know I had a good upbringing and I understood boundaries and I understood stuff but on the other hand when I got into my addiction um I was living a life as instant gratification I didn't have any boundaries I was living you know running them up so to come back into society and become a counselor and um you know be able to function it properly and this field that or this profession that we're in um I kind of had to rehabilitate some of those things I had to put those back into practice to go back to school for four years and get my addiction uh certification and to get my Human Services I mean I had to uh it was a whole different world you know I was back in the back in the mix so um you know and it wasn't a job like I had as a roadie where it was okay to be high and drunk you were supposed to be so um it was a whole different professional world so um in principle three uh substance use disorder Council shell comply with all federal and state laws regulations that pertain to Patient client confidentiality mandated reporting exceptions record keeping requirements patient client records access so we're going to talk about all that um I think one area that you will notice as you progress in your career and as you go through schools that you're not going to get a whole lot of training on documentation and progress notes and they've changed a lot since I was doing we used to hand write them all but now everything's pretty much electronic health records so it's a lot of typing but um still there's um it's a very important part of this profession documenting everything making sure it's written down chronologically um because that can become a real problem you know the kind of the thing you'll probably hear if you heard it once or you'll hear it a hundred times as if if it's not written down it didn't happen and so if somebody says something or something comes up or six months you know something goes by and they say hey this person said this happened or what happened here or the you know the courts want to review something or a million things can come up I guarantee you the one thing you didn't chart will be the one that somebody's looking for um so you want to be able to pull out that chart if you have all the stuff in place do you need all the releases and everything and be like oh yeah that's you know even if it's your supervisor asking you something oh yeah oh this is what happened I wrote it down here so you know important to be succinct and and deliberate in what you write and accurate so we're going to talk about um you know progress notes and charting uh very very very very very very very very very very very important part of um what you guys do and I'm gonna be doing and you're probably gonna be doing a lot more writing than you planned on because maybe some people go into this thinking oh I'm just gonna teach groups and do one-on-ones and then save the world and all these addicts and alcoholics are going to turn their lives around um by my talking and my stories and me sharing but really there's a lot of writing there's a lot of skills there's a lot of ability there's a lot of knowledge there's a lot of different types of um different skills that you're going to be you're going to be learning and learning how to execute those your internship is going to be very important and have what you learn you know in the beginning is going to formulate what you become all right so the uniform code of conduct and the uniform disciplinary guidelines are based on two documents the health and safety code which is the law and the California code of regulations or a lot of people call them the regs which is Title IX so your agreement to adhere to the university or the university uniform code of conduct is required by signing the seat Cap Code of Conduct and ethics or protecting the box when applying online and this is legally binding so I'll be giving you guys a copy of the code of conduct you don't have to sign it and return it to me or anything it's just going to be an example for you but when you apply for credentialing or registration or whatever at CCAP or any of the agencies that you apply to you have to agree to the code of conduct if you're doing it online and you check the box I agree to these terms just because you haven't written your signature if you click that box and submit it then that that's the same as your electronic signature so um you know just know that you know when you are you're going to have a contract basically to uphold this profession [Music] all right so this is um misconduct Complaint Form this is uh on the CCAP website part of what you guys part of your responsibility as a counselor and is not only to do the right thing personally but it's also to police isn't the right word but to to regulate or pay attention to the things that are going on around you with your own colleagues and and supervisors and programs and just things in general that if you recognize that something as unethical is going on in one of our clients or another staff member is being harmed that you have an obligation also to report that um because if it's found out and we'll go over in a minute if it's found out that you knew about it and you didn't say anything then you can behold hell just as accountable as the person that um we could be just as culpable as a person that was doing the violation so um and it has to be that way because there's a lot we want to believe that people are you know oh we're going into the helping field everybody's healed and wonderful and doing great work and many many many many many are but in every every profession um it's not 100 percent sometimes people are still sick in some ways and you might see some things and it's like you know I don't think that's right you may take it to a supervisor to something sometimes it is a supervisor and you know it's sometimes we're putting these positions where it's a man I don't want to say anyone lose my job this is a supervisor I'm going to be compromised but you know you have to look at your values um and like I said we always want to believe that that everybody is in this for the right reason but I've literally um had other counselors that I've worked with for many years that I noticed had relapsed um you know and it was so obvious and you know I've had staff that has had relationships with clients and the clients who came and complained about it and said this is going on and you're like no no that can't be and then you find out it was so these are all um things just to be aware of because you know our clients are vulnerable and they trust us or we're trying to get them to trust us and when we do things or our counselors or our staff do things like this like that that are um unethical then that compromises our profession so you can submit this Complaint Form um the person who you can't be anonymous when you turn it in but we won't disclose who it came from to the person that you're complaining about but we can't just get anonymous complaint we have to be able to contact both parties so this is the form and you submit that um all right excuse me let's talk a little bit about the complaints process okay um first thing is the the plane is received so if it's received by a CCAP or by Katie or cadab depending on what organization the counselors affiliated with it can come to the agency or sometimes it goes to Department of Healthcare Services either way it's reciprocal meaning that if it comes to us we have to let the Department of Healthcare Services now and if Department of Healthcare Services gets a complaint they have to let the certify an organization know um but like I said it's not going to be you can't be anonymous because we have to have somebody to talk to about it so we could follow up on the complaint so once the complaint comes in and we receive it and it goes to CCAP it goes to what we have we call our Ethics Committee we actually have an Ethics Committee we have an Ethics chair we have an Ethics Committee and we have investigators that will go um you know do the investigation basically so and it also goes to Department health care services and they have their own set of investigators and they'll run through their process depending on what the complaint is um the person that did the complaining the complainant and the respondent the person that is being accused or notified you know so the complainant hey we received your uh we received your ethics violation notification and we are working on it blah blah blah um the other person said hey an Ethics violation has been um levied against you we are in the process of investigating this and this is what we need so whatever that whatever the process is and then that will start the that will start the clock um CCAP will like I said get our own Ethics Committee to start contacting people and asking questions and trying to find out if there's any validity to it or not um sometimes you know it becomes unfounded um but you know we need to come to the proper conclusion and Department Healthcare Services is gonna start doing their own investigation too so both those things are happening simultaneously um after our investigation receipt cap is concluded the ethics complete committee and the credentialing board finalize their findings and you know make their determination okay yes we did find this this person said they were having a relation you know this Council said that one of her colleagues was having a relationship with the client and we have talked to all the parties involved and let's see you know yes it has there's text messages there's this there's that whatever it is um so we find this to be valid and or they say it's not um so the time that they have to do this is 90 days so from when we receive the when we receive the complaint in Department of Health Care Services receives a complaints and we have 90 days to do the investigation and and notify everybody what the findings were um so us as CCAP if it's one of our councils we we comply with so remember Department of Healthcare Services doing there inspection at the same time their investigation at the same time um so they're going to come to their conclusion they're going to send it to us CCAP has to at least impose the sanction the Department of Healthcare Services decided upon at a minimum so if they say oh yeah this person do this and we think they should have three months or three CEUs of Ethics or six hours or whatever then we can say okay so that's the minimum penalty but CCAP can say okay we acknowledge that but we think it was more severe than that and we can make it more stringent so CCAP has to at least impose what department Health Care Services decided upon but we can also make it more make it more if we want um and that happens sometimes because sometimes we see things and it's like oh no this is this is much more serious and that's where this uniform code of conduct and the disciplinary guidelines comes in because it it's very clear about what you're gonna what's gonna happen if you do a certain violation so then the findings are provided to both parties and the case is concluded if you are you know if the you know depending on the findings and we'll go through some examples here in a minute but there are some violations that the penalty is your certification is revoked and for a lifetime I mean you can't get it back having sex with a client you lose your certification so on the first offense so you know then you're going to go in the system is revoked and all of the agencies that certify the three of us we always all check with each other for anybody that's registering or anybody that's getting certified make sure there's no um discrepancies or issues from the past or any of those kind of things so it's not like you can come to CCAP get revoked and then go over to Acadia we're all in the same system not the same system we'll check with each other and it's it's law by um apartment Healthcare Services we have to do that and um yeah then you revoked or if you get suspended then you're going to go into the registry is suspended and anybody that looks you up is going to stay suspended if you go to apply for a job it's going to say you're suspended until you complete the required whatever it was that they told you to do and then you can reapply and all that stuff will get removed but there's a there's a whole system to it all right um so and also if you guys have any questions go ahead and type them in there I'll answer them as best as I can but I'm going to try cover this up pretty thoroughly um so we got five minutes till break so I'm going to go ahead and do this slide so the um California uniform code of conduct so where it says up at the top it says these are the four columns so each um you'll see when I give you the disciplinary guidelines there's four columns the first column on the left is the actual citation the the um the number like the penal code number like uh you know 309.4 or you know 304.9 a b c so you're gonna see the number so when you get a violation it's like you are being um investigated for this ethics violation of 304.9 a um the next category is the violation category and that's basically the the narrative the what the complaint is and what the uh you know what parts of that are okay so they're gonna it's gonna just be the description of the complaint or of the violation all right so you're gonna have the number then you're gonna have the um The Narrative or the description of what the ethics violation is and then the next column is going to be what the penalty is for the first offense so it says this column is a sanction which should take place upon the first violation and I'm going to give you some examples after the break but you know and that third column is going to say no so if you do this this is what should happen if you're found if you're found guilty for lack of a better term um of this offense this is what the punishment will be and there's a lot of different varieties all the way from you know taking a uh some kind of boundaries or ethics course to being suspended to losing your credential completely depending on the offense some are more severe than others and I'm going to give you some examples of the different levels after the break but the second offense um so if you were to commit the offense again the same one then there is a second level of punishment and the um most of the time the second if you do the same violation and get a second Offense for it most of the time it's revocable you might get a break on the first one but usually on the second one that's when you lose your certification not all of them there's a couple of them where you could get a second chance um but most of them if you do one thing you get caught for it it's found that you did it you get sanctioned and then you do it again um there's a good chance that that's going to be the end of of that career so you don't anyone who wants to get into any of that that's and I don't mean for it to sound harsh but I just need everybody to understand that we can't it's not acceptable really to be doing unethical behaviors in this type of profession or any type of profession really but I mean we have a very vulnerable population that doesn't trust anybody and that you know is is can be taken advantage of or could be harmed very easily and our Credo is to do no harm so um you know we have to be very diligent about our behaviors and and all the things that we all the things that we do and if somebody's not doing that and they're being careless they're probably not going to be around very well what is udg uh that's the uniform disciplinary guidelines that's the um I'm going to hand that document out to you guys that's what you're looking at here the ugd the four columns it's the uniform disciplinary guideline so it's uh it's the citation the category and the offenses and I'm actually you can get that off of our our site but Larry's put it on here as a handout so I will be sharing that with you you guys will be able to download it and print it out or whatever but it'll be good for you guys to uh look at it because you'll know what it's expected of you and you know what to look for when other people are supposed to be doing all right so it is 12 50 it's 10 minutes to one so we will go ahead and take a 10 minute break the biology break go use the restroom um get a little snack do whatever you need to do let's be back here at one o'clock okay all right
