Safety Net Outreach; Boston, MA

My job role was to
  • Shadow caseworkers, take clients to appointments/shopping etc
  • Call clients ans assist in providing emotional support for any stress they might have
  • Doing light case management work with the clients
  • Research different community resources available regarding health or financial information for clients
My placement was very good and other students should consider this site because it is so much more different to learn by experience rather than textbooks. You learn so much more and it helps you grow as a person.

The only thing I would change about this placement is my connection with my supervisor.

My advice to others seeking a field experience placement is to make sure that its something you truly want to do. You must be prepared for the good, the bad, and the ugly at all times.
