Oct 2021 - Aug 2022
I participated in interdisciplinary treatment planning and developed a comprehensive psychosocial assessment. I conducted assessments and screens as required. I provided crisis intervention consultation to all members of the team. I was very detail-oriented with documentation in order to remain in compliance per ORR guidelines. I supervised other social workers with reunifications, and assisted with documentation and audits. I assisted the program director with doing UC Portal audits. I acted as a liaison for JEDI (Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion) Committee. I was responsible for the training the resource parents with the PRIDE curriculum and providing re-training to resource parents as needed. I would oversee social worker and ensures timelines for reunifications are being met.
