As a Parent Aide I work with adult clients who have been referred to the organization from Child Protective Services. I work with Clients who have drug addictions, serious mental illnesses, and who are homeless. I complete intake and assessments of my clients, work with my Clients to establish goals, and oversee their completion of court mandated activities, as well as help them work on the development of life skills, healthy coping strategies, and parenting skills.

Dec 2005 - Dec 2009
I worked with foster care youth, ages 5 to 18 years, who were diagnosed with learning disabilities, developmental delays, mood disorders, and mental illnesses. This entailed medication management and the use of redirection techniques, as well as Crisis Intervention Training. Furthermore, I was an advocate for educational advancement and Individual Education Plans. Finally, I advocated for medical care that would meet the needs of the child, as well as therapeutic interventions that would help the child develop healthy coping skills and healthy attachments to peers and trusted adults and family members.
