Well, I’m just over a month into my internship here at Home Start, and I’m still looking forward to seeing my first client! It’s not for anyone’s lack of trying, I simply keep getting referrals that require a great deal of leg work in terms of getting consent to treat, and sometimes I have an intake scheduled and I just get stood up!
Before I applied here, I had heard that the people here at Home Start were really nice, but I didn’t realize how true that was until I got here. Everyone is supportive and helpful, and I have to say that in all of my 32 years I’ve never had the pleasure of working in such a positive environment. I know the pace of my work here will pick up shortly, but it sure is nice to come to work knowing that I can talk to folks, and that if I have a question there will be somebody around willing to help me find an answer.
I am still finding it difficult to remember the names of the many programs offered by and through Home Start, not to mention all the acronyms. I’m hoping that this gets easier with time. I will be co-facilitating an Adult Survivors of Child Abuse (ASCA) group starting this week. I am preparing myself for an intense but rewarding experience, and I can’t wait to put some of this knowledge I’ve acquired in the classroom to good use.
