Jewish Family & Children's Service of ArizonaFamily Support Worker
May. 2012 - May. 2014Phoenix, Arizona AreaAfter my time at MGA Services, I really thought about my passion and what I went to school for, which led me to this incredible non-profit organization. At JFCS I learned the ins and out of social work and how to have an impact on my community. I provided home-based services to support children and families that had Department of Child Safety involvement facilitating reunification services, parent-aide services and in some instances, severance of parental rights. Across each case, I had to understand a variety of family dynamics, cultures and needs, while providing education and resources on protective factors to establish stable homes. Two skills that I learned in this role that have stayed with me across everything I do is 1) establishing client rapport and relationship building, and 2) writing objective and detailed notes. I have many memories and stories from this role that deeply shaped how I think, how I live my life and how I treat others. I would love to chat about this with you!
