My Social Work Experience

I have experience working with at-risk adolescents.  I have worked for 1 year as a Street Outreach Specialist at a drop-in center.  In this experience, I have practiced crisis intervention and held group discussions.  This experience taught me about ways to stay calm in a crisis and time management skills. 

Most recently, I have worked as a case manager in an outpatient mental health and substance abuse facility.  In this role, I have managed adults with a diagnosis of a mental health disorder and/or substance abuse disorder.  I also completed intake assessments on clients.  The assessment forms I have experience completing include psychosocial and case management assessments.  I was also provided experience in leading clinical groups.  This was a challenging experience, and I have learned a lot from the experience.  My hopes are to continue in the mental health and substance abuse field.
