As a family support worker with KBC. I have provided consistent, competent support to children and families in foster care with effective communication, rapport building and boundary setting using evidence based best practices. My responsibilities have included supervising visitation's between families, transportation of clients, client assessments, crisis- intervention and efficient and timely documentation reporting. In August 2017, I started my employee-based Social Work Internship in the Permanency Department focusing on case management. For Spring 2018, my internship will be focused in the child placing agency department focusing on regulations and licensure. As of 11/27/17, my supervisors provided the growth opportunity of providing case management, taking on a case load of 14 cases. Current responsibilities also include court reports, case planning and continual engagement with parent's and families to coordinate and maintain effective communication. During my time with KVC i have been provided opportunities to help train other incoming staff on different computer systems used within agency. As well as provided observation during my visitations and client engagement. I have attended a panel board for MAPP class, and was invited to train in Fall 2017, based on my work experience, at Washburn university in the Child Welfare course. Instructor evaluations were positive noting the comprehensiveness of my instruction, my knowledge of the topic, my delivery manner and my professionalism.
