3:18
Speaker 3: Yeah, thank you. So the golf tournament is in its
3:20
Speaker 3: twenty ninth year. It's our Hospice Memorial Golf Tournament, and
3:26
Speaker 3: the tournament was founded twenty nine years ago to remember
3:30
Speaker 3: and recognize a Central Vermonter, Scott Freeman, who was cared
3:35
Speaker 3: for by cv ajjh's hospice team. And it's kept going
3:41
Speaker 3: year after year for twenty nine years and it's really
3:44
Speaker 3: grown into a day long event at the country Club
3:49
Speaker 3: of Barry and we're so lucky to have them as
3:52
Speaker 3: our partner. And it's a eighteen hole scramble and we
3:57
Speaker 3: have lots of fun games and now we have the
4:01
Speaker 3: silent auction that is a really fun part of the tournament.
4:05
Speaker 3: That lets people in the community who don't who don't
4:09
Speaker 3: play golf, but who really want to support the tournament
4:13
Speaker 3: or the hospice program. We have lots of people who
4:18
Speaker 3: who want to support and who did in the auction
4:21
Speaker 3: year after year. That's their thing and it's a way
4:25
Speaker 3: of just supporting us and the tournament and our hospice program.
4:29
Speaker 3: And it's it's just it's really evolved into this, this
4:33
Speaker 3: fun event to raise awareness for hospice and for our
4:39
Speaker 3: agency and for the care, the excellent care that we provide.
4:42
Speaker 2: And look at this, she got about twenty incredible items
4:47
Speaker 2: that are that are that are up for auction. This
4:50
Speaker 2: is this is amazing.
4:53
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think I think the you know, we're we're
4:56
Speaker 3: playing golf and we have these amazing item But I
5:01
Speaker 3: think really for me and Sandy Ruth, our CEO, she
5:05
Speaker 3: talks about this a lot, I think what at its core,
5:09
Speaker 3: this event is also about thanking our incredible community because they,
5:17
Speaker 3: you know, they really make they really make this event
5:20
Speaker 3: what it is. So you know, we couldn't have this,
5:24
Speaker 3: We couldn't have this auction without the the vendors, the
5:29
Speaker 3: golf courses, the local businesses who contribute. We couldn't have
5:33
Speaker 3: the event without the incredible sponsors and golfers who come
5:37
Speaker 3: year after year and support it and sponsor it. So
5:40
Speaker 3: it's really just it's like the event is a way
5:44
Speaker 3: for us to thank the community for their support, for
5:46
Speaker 3: their generosity. So yeah, I'm just We're so grateful.
5:50
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm just having a glance here at some
5:54
Speaker 2: of the some of the items. You got gift cards
5:56
Speaker 2: to local restaurants like Black Back Pub and Sardoucis the
6:01
Speaker 2: Alchemist Brewery, Snowfire Auto detailing.
6:06
Speaker 3: And we have two of those yep. And I live
6:08
Speaker 3: off a long dirt road, so I'm like, I'm tempted
6:11
Speaker 3: to bet on that one because that will be like
6:13
Speaker 3: a full a full car detail yep.
6:16
Speaker 2: Wow. And and golf too. You got the mountain course
6:20
Speaker 2: at Spruce Peak, which is amazing by the way, Uh

6:29
Speaker 2: What are what are some of the other items we have.
6:33

Speaker 3: in Middlesex. We have a one month past Green Mountain
6:39
Speaker 3: Community Fitness. The Flynn Theater in Burlington was really generous.
6:44
Speaker 3: They donated tickets to ain't too proud. It's it's a
6:48
Speaker 3: show about the Temptations, which sounds really cool and totally unique.
6:53
Speaker 3: One of our former board members, his son was actually
6:57
Speaker 3: in a production at the Flynn and it was so
7:00
Speaker 3: popular my daughter went to see it. So the Flynn
7:02
Speaker 3: is just an amazing just an amazing resource that we
7:05
Speaker 3: have in Vermont in our community. So I think that

Speaker 3: Burlington Country Club, the Links at lang Farm, Queechee, Newport.
7:30
Speaker 3: So there are a lot of golfers that come year
7:33
Speaker 3: after year to the event. So I think that there
7:36
Speaker 3: are great deals on the golf courses around the state.
7:40
Speaker 3: So I think that's a big draw for a lot
7:41
Speaker 3: of people.
7:42
Speaker 2: They've done this for a long long time, and as
7:46
Speaker 2: you say, this is year number twenty nine, amazing the sponsors.

11:53
Speaker 2: not just one day but two with powerful, powerful keynote
11:58
Speaker 2: speakers and so much to and be part of an
12:01
Speaker 2: experience with me is Rain Perrault and Penny Martin from
12:06
Speaker 2: peer PALUSA and from Washington County Mental Health and from
12:10
Speaker 2: Sunrise and what am I missing? Ladies that covers it.
12:16
Speaker 2: The two of you have done so much and man,
12:20
Speaker 2: I'm hearing about it from Heather that you guys have
12:25
Speaker 2: just created this, this thing which is just going to
12:30
Speaker 2: be so great for our community. Tell us about the
12:33
Speaker 2: inception of peer POLUSA. Of course we're going to talk
12:37
Speaker 2: about the schedule, what to expect, But whose idea was
12:40
Speaker 2: all of this?
12:44
Speaker 5: So we received the grant. The agency received a big
12:47
Speaker 5: grant and part of the grant was training and developing
12:52
Speaker 5: peer programming and the State of Vermont is also starting certification.
12:59
Speaker 5: It's one of the last dates in the country. Even
13:01
Speaker 5: though we have a long history of work done by
13:04
Speaker 5: people who lived experience. So July first, there'll be certification
13:09
Speaker 5: and many designated agencies have been developing their own peer
13:17
Speaker 5: programming as well as there's peer agencies throughout the state
13:21
Speaker 5: as well, and so I thought, you know, use this grant.
13:26
Speaker 5: So it's one time fund. So hopefully we can carry
13:29
Speaker 5: it on and see if we can create a conference
13:32
Speaker 5: where everybody from the state can start sharing their ideas,
13:37
Speaker 5: teach each other, celebrate all the work that's being done
13:40
Speaker 5: by you know, this amazing group of people, and you know,
13:45
Speaker 5: hopefully get it out there and maybe hopefully we can
13:48
Speaker 5: expand and keep this going for many years.
13:52
Speaker 2: What are we What is the community going to experience
13:57
Speaker 2: when they walk through the doors beginning Thursday morning up
14:03
Speaker 2: at the Berry Auditorium.
14:05
Speaker 5: Well as anyone who walks into Sunrise knows, as soon
14:10
Speaker 5: as you walk through the doors, you're going to get
14:12
Speaker 5: greeted because everybody, everybody should have someone say hello to them.
14:17
Speaker 5: So you'll get greeted, we'll check in, get you your
14:21
Speaker 5: very own swag bag. There is a limited supply, but yes,
14:28
Speaker 5: we do.
14:28
Speaker 4: Have a swag bag.
14:30
Speaker 5: And basically there's going to be exhibit tables that are
14:35
Speaker 5: open from different agencies and organizations also from within Washington
14:42
Speaker 5: County and other agencies, and you'll be able to hear
14:50
Speaker 5: speakers and get some education about what it means to
14:54
Speaker 5: be peered, learn about some of the programs, how to
14:57
Speaker 5: care for yourself and things like that.
15:03
Speaker 2: I'm so interested in this. I'll be there both Thursday
15:06
Speaker 2: and Friday. I'll be streaming live. But rain tell us
15:11
Speaker 2: a little bit about who you are, what you do.
15:15
Speaker 4: So I to start, I am a peer and I
15:24
Speaker 4: work at Sunrise as a peer support provider. So what
15:26
Speaker 4: that means is I have lived experienced myself, and studies
15:31
Speaker 4: have shown that it is easier for someone to come
15:34
Speaker 4: into Sunrise and work with somebody that knows where they
15:40
Speaker 4: are coming from, knows where they have been, because I've
15:42
Speaker 4: been there too. So if they were to come into
15:45
Speaker 4: Sunrise and meet with a therapist that has been to
15:49
Speaker 4: college and is speaking to them in a language that
15:52
Speaker 4: isn't person centered, but is more therapeutic in saying things
15:57
Speaker 4: like I hear you, so many of our people that
16:02
Speaker 4: come in have a lot of experience with that already
16:05
Speaker 4: and have been through the system enough to know that
16:09
Speaker 4: it doesn't fly, and it's it's just not going that way.
16:14
Speaker 4: But when they come into Sunrise, as Penny says, you're
16:16
Speaker 4: greeted a lot of the times because we know our people.
16:20
Speaker 4: Not only are you greeted, but you're greeted by name.
16:23
Speaker 4: So if you were to come in, we would say, hi, JD,
16:25
Speaker 4: how's it going, Get yourself a cup of coffee, Come
16:28
Speaker 4: on over come work with us on this. If you
16:31
Speaker 4: were to get food shelf, we would know you well enough.
16:35
Speaker 4: We know what kind of foods you like, so we
16:37
Speaker 4: would say, oh, JD, we have this today, would you
16:40
Speaker 4: like some of that? So we have that one on
16:43
Speaker 4: one personal sort of rapport that we know not only
16:49
Speaker 4: who you are clinically, but we know who you are
16:52
Speaker 4: as a human being, and a lot of the times
16:55
Speaker 4: we know you better than your families do.
16:58
Speaker 2: How many regulars are coming to Sunrise on a given.
17:05
Speaker 5: Week, it depends in terms of individuals that are consistently there,
17:14
Speaker 5: probably twenty twenty five. We also have individuals from the
17:19
Speaker 5: community that aren't part of Washington County Mental Health who
17:22
Speaker 5: are unhoused to come in and receive some support and
17:25
Speaker 5: services from us, as.
17:26
Speaker 2: Well support services and amazing food. You guys really know
17:33
Speaker 2: what you're doing over there. Tell me about the chefs
17:37
Speaker 2: who's doing the cooking over there, because.
17:39
Speaker 5: We all do.
17:41
Speaker 2: Amazing food.
17:43
Speaker 4: A lot of it is all homemade. We have a
17:46
Speaker 4: couple of people that have worked in restaurants. I myself,
17:49
Speaker 4: I grew up at restaurants. My dad was a chef
17:52
Speaker 4: for most of my life, so instead of having a babysitter,
17:55
Speaker 4: I just sat in the kitchen while he cooked. One
17:59
Speaker 4: of our chefs has been cooking there since the dawn
18:02
Speaker 4: of time.
18:03
Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, you know, moms, a couple of moms,
18:09
Speaker 5: and you know, just other people who enjoy food and
18:13
Speaker 5: enjoy sharing, and food is often a love language, and
18:17
Speaker 5: so you know why not share it?
18:20
Speaker 2: Certainly is with me, I'll tell you that.
18:23
Speaker 4: And we share recipes too, So if there's something there
18:26
Speaker 4: that you've eaten, we fully like to share the recipe
18:30
Speaker 4: so you can take that recipe home, you can get
18:33
Speaker 4: things from the food shelf so that you can make
18:34
Speaker 4: it that day if you really.
18:37
Speaker 2: It's Penny. It's been a while since I was over
18:41
Speaker 2: there streaming Live with Heather. I got to get back
18:44
Speaker 2: over and do that. One of that time that I
18:48
Speaker 2: was there, I was I remember being distracted by the spouse.
18:51
Speaker 2: I mean it was I don't know what. I think
18:54
Speaker 2: it was chocolate chip cookies. I don't know, but it
18:56
Speaker 2: was amazing.
18:58
Speaker 5: Snecker doodles also fairly often, Kathy perry Is does a
19:04
Speaker 5: lot of our baking, and so when we do some
19:06
Speaker 5: fundraisers like well, we celebrate Pie Day by selling whole
19:11
Speaker 5: pies and slices of pies. Kathy makes homemade crust and
19:15
Speaker 5: so we're lucky with that.
19:18
Speaker 4: I saw some rhubarb this morning.
19:20
Speaker 5: Yeah, really, there might be some strawberry rumor pie come
19:24
Speaker 5: into Sunrise.
19:25
Speaker 2: That's my number one most favorite pie. Right There will
19:28
Speaker 2: there be any of this at Pere Palooza.
19:31
Speaker 5: There will be. We are bringing recipe cards and stuff,
19:35

22:38
Speaker 5: the whole the whole thing.
22:39
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm hoping that I'll be able to and if
22:42
Speaker 2: Will is listening this morning, I'm hoping that I'll be
22:44
Speaker 2: able to get a microphone in his face. I'm sure
22:48
Speaker 2: on Thursday would be would be great. Do we know
22:52

23:08
Speaker 2: That's incredible too. Yes, yeah, so we'll Joy is resistance
23:17
Speaker 2: that's at nine thirty. Yes, so this is uh and
23:21
Speaker 2: I've got to get this this whole schedule post. I
23:24
Speaker 2: think it already is on Facebook though, but we're going
23:27
Speaker 2: to make it. We're going to make sure is this
23:29
Speaker 2: the updated one.
23:30
Speaker 5: There's got a one more correction to be made and then.
23:33
Speaker 2: Yes, okay and Christen Chandler, Yes, tell me about that
23:40
Speaker 2: at one o'clock in the afternoon.
23:42
Speaker 5: So Team two is an amazing training program that is
23:48
Speaker 5: designed for first responders to kind of learn how to
23:54
Speaker 5: better manage situations where maybe someone is struggling with symptoms
24:03
Speaker 5: for substance use.
24:04
Speaker 4: And so.
24:06
Speaker 5: Kristen along with some statewide police officers screeners, they do
24:14
Speaker 5: the training throughout the state. It's actually a mandated trainer
24:18
Speaker 5: for training for first responders. I've done the training. It's
24:24
Speaker 5: really good and it's a good way for people to
24:29
Speaker 5: kind of understand each other.
24:34
Speaker 2: The Center for Substance Use Services is also going to
24:40
Speaker 2: be there, formerly known as Treatment Associates, and I'm going
24:43
Speaker 2: to be chatting with Amber and hopefully getting her on
24:47
Speaker 2: the air as well. There is you guys are unpacking
24:51
Speaker 2: a ton of stuff under one roof. No wonder why
24:57
Speaker 2: it's two days. I'm not say that's surprised. Who has
25:05
Speaker 2: helped create this whole thing and get this whole thing
25:10
Speaker 2: designed and mapped out and planned. And this is a
25:13
Speaker 2: huge undertaking.
25:15
Speaker 5: So Washington County has a Peer Advisory Committee that was
25:20
Speaker 5: started about a year ago or longer two years. And
25:26
Speaker 5: you know, one of the premises of peer work is
25:28
Speaker 5: nothing about us without us, and so the pere Advisory
25:31
Speaker 5: Committee creates policies procedures to get approved of through the
25:36
Speaker 5: board in HR about you know, basically work ethics and
25:40
Speaker 5: things like that, and also figuring out the trainings that
25:43
Speaker 5: peers should have and that might be helpful. So the
25:47
Speaker 5: Peer Advisory Committee has been helping staff of Sunrise Wellness Center.
25:53
Speaker 5: I ask them to do so much and they are
25:57
Speaker 5: always ready willing to step up, and I'm waiting for
26:00
Speaker 5: them to lock me out of the building at some point.
26:03
Speaker 5: And the guests who come to Sunrise, So it's really
26:06
Speaker 5: important for us to help make sure people are involved
26:10
Speaker 5: in the community because they're part of the community. And
26:14
Speaker 5: so there will be actual clients, people who utilize the services,
26:20
Speaker 5: and people who provide the services will be there. Under
26:23
Speaker 5: the one roof working.
26:24
Speaker 2: Together Katie Wilson and Jane Winterling are going to be
26:29
Speaker 2: doing a presentation at four o'clock, which is seems like
26:35
Speaker 2: it's really.
26:37
Speaker 5: One not to miss the self care.
26:41
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's called understanding Self Compassion and self Esteem, the
26:45
Speaker 2: foundations of wellness. Who doesn't need to hear this?
26:51
Speaker 5: Right? Who doesn't.
26:55
Speaker 2: Do not miss it? And again, what's the cost to
26:59
Speaker 2: get into all of the us free bingo? So don't
27:04
Speaker 2: pass this up if you can. If you're you're busy,
27:08
Speaker 2: you're working, try to take a break, skip out and
27:15
Speaker 2: get through the doors of the Barry Auditorium Thursday and Friday,
27:19
Speaker 2: both days, starting at nine am, going all the way
27:23
Speaker 2: to five o'clock. Yep, that's incredible. So if you gotta,
27:27
Speaker 2: if you're anywhere near Barry my pilure, you gotta. You
27:32
Speaker 2: got a lunch break, skip over to the auditorium running
27:36
Speaker 2: there and and catch something if you can. Team two
27:41
Speaker 2: again starts at one o'clock. Four o'clock is under Understanding
27:45
Speaker 2: Self Compassion and Self Esteem. Is this the same schedule
27:50
Speaker 2: for both days?
27:51
Speaker 4: No?
27:52
Speaker 5: If you turn it over, yeah, you'll see that we
27:55
Speaker 5: have On the second day, we'll have poster presentation which
28:00
Speaker 5: are just kind of fifteen twenty minute blurbs about different programs,
28:04
Speaker 5: got it, and also Ted style talks, which are again
28:09
Speaker 5: quick fifteen minutes or so different describing different programs. So
28:15
Speaker 5: the Downstreet you know, Downstreet Housing, which is an amazing program,
28:21
Speaker 5: works with Washington County in a couple different programs. We're
28:24
Speaker 5: going to talk about the Tiny House Project. There is
28:30
Speaker 5: going to be a description of Maple House, which is
28:33
Speaker 5: a peer run crisis bed and the only peer run
28:36
Speaker 5: crisis bed in the state of Vermont is remained open
28:39
Speaker 5: during COVID. Really yeah, yeah, we were serving guests. They
28:47
Speaker 5: again a group of people that are absolutely amazing that
28:50
Speaker 5: most people didn't realize even existed, that that program existed,
28:54
Speaker 5: and yet they remained open during COVID when so many
28:57
Speaker 5: other things did not. And Tara Miller Tarah Miller from DMH.
29:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, so first self identified person at TMH. It's going
29:08
Speaker 2: to be and I really want to hear the Tiny
29:13
Speaker 2: House Project Ted talk from Downstreet because there's a lot
29:21
Speaker 2: of interest in that has been even before the housing crisis,
29:28
Speaker 2: the tiny holmes and I have a friend who lives
29:32
Speaker 2: in one and loves it and is laughing at the
29:36
Speaker 2: rest of us for with our eating bills and whatever.
29:40
Speaker 2: But anyway, I'm sure he'll be there as well. This
29:44
Speaker 2: is really really really cool the history and social change.
29:51
Speaker 2: Intention Intentional of Peer support.
29:55
Speaker 5: What is that?
29:56
Speaker 2: That's at one o'clock.
29:57
Speaker 5: Intentional Peer Support IPS is a program through Pathways. Well
30:03
Speaker 5: Pathways actually has it, but it's a peer based program
30:08
Speaker 5: and it's it's again very grassroots, and it's based on
30:17
Speaker 5: mutuality with peers meeting people where they're at and truly
30:24
Speaker 5: having the conversations that help support each other because it's
30:30
Speaker 5: never a one way street, it's always a two way street.
30:34
Speaker 5: And so we're lucky in that Chris Hansen is going
30:36
Speaker 5: to be there along with Amy dettwor Pathways I believe
30:43
Speaker 5: or IPS I believe started in New Hampshire, so another
30:47
Speaker 5: New England based program that's evidence based. Both the Copeland
30:52
Speaker 5: Center and Pathways are known internationally and have a lot
30:57
Speaker 5: of international programming and education. So we're really lucky to
31:02
Speaker 5: have them join us.
31:03
Speaker 2: Yeah, wouldn't it be amazing if we had things like
31:08
Speaker 2: this in place thirty forty years ago?
31:12
Speaker 5: Yeah?
31:13
Speaker 2: Yeah, at two thirty the poster presentations, what's what is that?
31:20
Speaker 5: So basically it's literally there'll be a visual off and
31:24
Speaker 5: on a poster board, could be on a screen as well,
31:28
Speaker 5: and it's going to describe different programs. So again they're brief,
31:32
Speaker 5: they're not very long, fifteen to twenty minutes. So we've
31:36
Speaker 5: got poster presentations on Maple House. You got the Access
31:43
Speaker 5: Advisory Board access Hub, so the Access Hub, which is
31:47
Speaker 5: an amazing program open to anybody in Washington County. Sure
31:52
Speaker 5: is that over the age of eighteen. They're going to
31:55
Speaker 5: be doing post presentation. They're also going to have a
31:58
Speaker 5: table set up in the exhibit hall. They're located at
32:01
Speaker 5: the thirty four Berry Street in the front part of
32:04
Speaker 5: where Sunrise is located in Montpellier. Anybody who is struggling
32:12
Speaker 5: and just need some support, the Access Hub is there
32:15
Speaker 5: and the people who greet you when you walk through
32:19
Speaker 5: the door are the peers, so it's really that'll be exciting.
32:24
Speaker 5: Interlude will also be there, which is another similar program
32:30
Speaker 5: that is out of SEASAC the Counseling Service Services of
32:34
Speaker 5: Addison County, and they will be helping. We'll have a
32:40
Speaker 5: small room downstairs at Peer Paluza where if people are
32:43
Speaker 5: starting to get a little over stimulated, there's going to
32:46
Speaker 5: be a quiet section, but there'll also be a smaller
32:48
Speaker 5: room where people can kind of take a break from
32:54
Speaker 5: you know.
32:54
Speaker 4: Sure, And because we are mental health based, I think
32:58
Speaker 4: we are one of the only companies that had to
33:01
Speaker 4: have a conversation about is the chewing from the food
33:05
Speaker 4: going to affect the people in the quiet space. I
33:08
Speaker 4: don't think anyone else has had to plan around that.
33:12
Speaker 5: Popsicides ofthing.
33:15
Speaker 2: Back to the UH, to the access Hub, and I'm
33:21
Speaker 2: hoping to get somebody from the Access Hub on the
33:25
Speaker 2: air with me. That would be amazing, remarkable. And they're
33:30
Speaker 2: thirty four Barry Street, just down the road from you guys,
33:33
Speaker 2: just down the in the same build, the same building
33:36
Speaker 2: right there on Barry Street in Montpelier. Amazing that they're
33:43
Speaker 2: open from early morning until seven o'clock seven to seven,
33:47
Speaker 2: right twelve hours, and then on Fridays, I think it's.
33:52
Speaker 5: What like eight to four or something like that, seven
33:55
Speaker 5: to four.
33:58
Speaker 2: This is a no apoint ointment needed, walk in, chat
34:02
Speaker 2: with someone, get some advice, get some direction. Got to
34:08
Speaker 2: be eighteen yes to to UH to take advantage of
34:12
Speaker 2: the services. But it could be peer consoling, it could
34:15
Speaker 2: be mental health care, nursing care, and case management, management
34:20
Speaker 2: referrals food shelf, foodshelf, no matter what it is, go in,
34:26
Speaker 2: no appointment needed, chat with someone and at least get
34:31
Speaker 2: some direction of which road to get on.
34:33
Speaker 4: Correct.
34:36
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's uh, that's gotta be uh that that's a
34:39
Speaker 2: job to be able to know. We got a lot
34:44
Speaker 2: of roads in front of us, which direction might point
34:47
Speaker 2: in this this individual and not only just give them
34:50
Speaker 2: a nudge in that direction, but also following through and
34:53
Speaker 2: making sure that they're okay.
34:55
Speaker 4: And they also do mobile outreach as well.
34:58
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's aren't we so lucky that we have services
35:04
Speaker 2: like this and Vermont. I wish they were better utilized.
35:10
Speaker 5: Yes, better utilized, better funded.
35:12
Speaker 4: You know, at least they should have capes like superheroans.
35:17
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh they are. This is really going to be
35:23
