Wow, I can’t believe it’s
already May! Unfortunately, with the uncomfortable warm weather (I blame the
hormones- I normally love warm weather!) comes the end of my time at Social
Work Solutions. The past four months have been both a blessing and a whirlwind.
I have worked in a foster care setting for the past two and a half years, so to
be in a clinical setting was a huge transition, but one I welcomed since my
goal is to work as a clinical social worker. In these few short months, I have
learned more than I could ever hope to explain, and I am so thankful to have
had this opportunity. I can NEVER EVER thank Jennifer enough for allowing me to
come in and work with her and her clients this year. I hope that I was able to
help some of them as much as they have helped me! Working with Jennifer (and
Terri!) has solidified that clinical social work is where I hope to eventually
land.
I am sad to be leaving,
but so excited to see what the future holds, in both my personal life (Hello
Baby Abby MaeJ)
and my professional life. In the future, I hope to open my own private practice
in my hometown and work as a registered play therapist, specializing in
Animal-Assisted Therapy. The experience I gained working at Social Work
Solutions will be in invaluable in this endeavor. Again, I cannot say thank you
enough to Jennifer, Terri, and our wonderful clients for all of their help,
support, and the numerous lessons over these past few months. Thank you, thank
you, thank you!
