Strengths, Trends and Challenges

The Strengths is the care for clients, adapting to changes, and the
ability to educate and update staff
Change is a trend that occurs often, from clients discharging and
coming into changes in insurance and state procedures and policies
The challenge comes from trying to help those who are resistant to
the help that we provide

Interns role
My role as an intern has been to shadow and learn how the other
programs are structured and operate through sitting in on meetings
and various trainings
My role is gradually moving to doing more hands on things such as
communicating with the state through e-mail about discharging
clients and arranging locations for staff training
