Four written questions

These matter more than anything else on this page. Answer them the way you'd actually handle it, not the way you think we want to hear.

1. A participant returns at 2:00 AM clearly intoxicated. When you ask to search their bag, they get loud and argumentative. Walk us through your next five minutes. *

2. A participant who's been at the site two months refuses to leave the dayroom at lights out. He's talking rapidly, doesn't seem to be tracking what you say, and tells you people are coming for him. He isn't threatening anyone. The rule is clear. What do you do, and what do you say to him? *

3. Write the following up exactly as you would submit it in a shift log. *

At 11:40 PM during your walkthrough of the east dorm, two participants are arguing about a missing phone charger. One is standing over the other's bed with his voice raised. The other stays seated and does not respond. You step between them and ask the standing participant to step outside. He does, and goes to the smoking area. The seated participant asks to be moved to a different bed. Nobody is injured. You notify the shelter monitor at 11:55 PM.
