Our agency really did nothing to prepare us. They encouraged us to take online classes, which we did, but that was it. I mean .. I don't think they really ever even mentioned much to do with it. Everything I learned, I learned from here, the internet, and the books. In some ways, for me, I was glad the agency did cram it down my throat. I am .. what my family likes to call ... a worry wart. I read something and immediately believe the worse case scenario is going to happen to me. So, in my readings, I created these horror stories and started to get paranoid about every little things. I saw myself starting to LOOK for things to fear. This side of the spectrum isnt' good either. Living in denial is bad, but so is creating problems. So, for me, I educated myself in the way I needed too. But, my agency did nothing.
And the classes I took -- they were pretty much a waste of time. I really didn't gain much from them. They were scenario type questions. I just didn't gain a lot.
