Helping a patient in whatever way you can is part of being a Psychiatric Technician. Tell the interviewer that you go out of your way whenever someone has a specific need or problem. Share a story of a time you went above and beyond and list the steps on how you got there. Tell the interviewer if you were able to utilize other helping agencies and how you followed up with the patient.

"We had a patient at our front desk that was deaf and could read lips. Our front desk receptionist was stressed out over the situation and asked me for help. I was in between patients and was able to help out. I took extra time with the patient to address her needs and get her on her way."
