I am a person who works in a business downtown and has been accosted, while on the job in a business setting, by panhandlers who seem mentally ill. I think it would be nice if there were some basic training available for those of us who encounter needy folks on the job and would like to relate with them in a manner that enables us to continue doing business throughout the day (keeping a safe and clean atmosphere for our customers in an eating establishment), whilst also treating panhandlers and the mentally ill indigent with human compassion. This can be a tricky situation especially if you are a lone woman working in a place of business. There are many intricacies and issues here... but our society does not equip us with tools for such situations.Rad Winters, Alanologisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16462283402450498760noreply@blogger.com
