Dynamic Deeds
Interdynamics, Inc. has continued their years of community outreach and service with our Dynamic Deeds Initiative. With our new name, we will continue to be more than just a company as we serve the communities behavioral health needs.
We believe at Interdynamics, Inc. that we have a duty to help out the community we are in. Currently, we have two Dynamic Deeds initiatives in progress. We have asked our Mental Health Clinicians along with each of their principals to nominate a child or family to receive a Gift Card to the supermarket; 22 Prince George’s County Schools. In times like this, we know that every little bit can help, and we will.
We are also thanking our teachers and school faculty with fresh hot coffee and donuts. Our Mental Health Clinicians along with teachers and staff play a significant role in Behavioral Health. Throughout the school year, they all work together daily to ensure the well-being of our children, and we would just like to acknowledge everyone and to say, “Thank You”.
After this holiday season, look forward to many more Dynamic Deeds coming to the community. Dynamic Deeds likes supporting Stem, backpack drives, Social Emotional Learning, are examples of some of the outreach Dynamic Deeds will be helping with, tailoring them to each community.

“Guy Takes the Bathtub Test for Mental Health”
During a visit to the mental asylum, Guy asked the Director what the criterion was that defined whether or not a patient should be institutionalized.
‘Well, said the Director, we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup, and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.`
‘Oh, I understand,’ said Guy. ‘A normal person would use the bucket because its bigger than the spoon or teacup.
‘No.’ said the Director, ‘A normal person would pull the plug.
… ‘Guy, do you want a bed near the window?’
