    I help low income and homeless individuals find and keep housing. I am responsible for helping client maintain their mental health symptoms, assisting clients in maintaining their housing, attempting to help find employment for the clients, along with linking clients with resources for basic needed items. I have needed to advocate for my clients during legal proceedings and have often needed to advocate in front of a judge for my clients. Many clients deal with a mental health diagnosis so treatments and goals revolve around those diagnosis. I have heavy input on a client's treatment goals including input on any medication changes.
