right?

Dave WellsGUEST
And people are going to get on my case about untrained people, right? But she came in and she didn't know much of my answers, but she knew about, there's several different types of autism, there's several different types of dementia.

Dave WellsGUEST
So for me, The conversation is about me working out what else I can give her to make her job easier.

Dave WellsGUEST
So when they start, I have a set of, I think, eight things we ask them to do through our NGO.

Dave WellsGUEST
And then I sit with the lady, Danielle, who's my advisory HR person, and we work out their training structure.

Dave WellsGUEST
because she worked out who they can and can't work with what where their knowledge gap is and then we tailor their training to that person especially around uh there's a lot of we've got a couple of young fellas autistic young really young eight nine year old boys right and they need specific type of people they need calm they need People that understand.
