Creating environments where individuals can flourish & connect with others. Clinical assessments for activities interests & charting behaviors/interventions. Working well as a team or on my own depending on staffing availability & timing of events hosted. Collaboration with higher functioning "contributors" within the community to provide hands on involvement with their friends/neighbors that are declining mentally or physically.
