Brief story on what I did this week.
I shadowed a social worker and went to some schools to see clients, and clients came to the office. Watching the Social worker and the client interact with each other, seeing the clients trust the social worker. Meet with the client and the doctor to see the assessment of their medication and what’s been working for them. After the visit, enter information into the system. The staff were professional and enjoyed their job and training interns. There haven’t been any negative experiences.
