My Job

Update:
I am a currently a counselor at Children's Home Society. I was hired as a Family Support Worker and was then "bumped up" to a counselor. I absolutely LOVE it. I opened my first solo case today. Basically I'm assessing the family to determine strengths and needs, and providing support, access to community resources, and teaching parenting skills. Not sure how long I'll stay. I really like it and there may be an opportunity to move up in July, and I don't think I can turn that down, though it's not guaranteed. Just keeping my options open. Most of my families are voluntary though a few are court ordered. Hope everyone's job hunting and summer activities are going well. Miss you all.

  1. Thanks Danielle for the information. Come August, if I still dont' have my dream intervention job, then I may look into a career with the Children's Home Society since it seems to be closely related. Where are you living now? I couldn't remember if you decided to stay in Gainesville.
