Turning Point reflects on challenges

After nearly four years operating and in the midst of a pandemic, Turning Point Door County has continued to give challenged individuals a safe and educational environment to learn and expand working skills. Turning Point was fortunately deemed a critical business and never had to shut down since the beginning of the pandemic. Though they got to stay open, operations manager Tim Beck still said it was a challenging year as some members opted to stay home.  He noted a lot of changes had to be made, even to the infrastructure of the building. 

 

 

Beck considers Turning Point lucky to be able to curb a virus breakout since the pandemic started. To help keep the virus out of the building, staff had to work extra hard cleaning and some members even had to redirect some of their skills. Beck did allude to the situation being used as an education tool. 

 

 

Beck looks forward to when Turning Point can put the pandemic in the rear-view when it is safe to do so. As part of Turning Point’s “inclusion revolution,” they will be eager to get out in the public as much as possible. This includes ramping up field trips, getting into the community, and learning experiences like going to museums and to the grocery stores.
