From the Caseworker desk:

I stepped into the role as caseworker July 18, 2024. I have my Bachelors degree in Substance Abuse and Addiction to be a counselor. I am currently working on my CASAC (Credentialed Alcoholism and Substance Abuse Counselor).

It has been a year with a re-occurring change from stepping into one role and taking on two more. It has been a blessing because I have been blessed to work hand in hand with the Director. He has listened to what I have to say and makes me feel as though I am valued. This value comes not only as a person, but as a caseworker, but also a new found Christian. When there is self doubt or frustration, he always makes it known that it will always work out. In the year I have been here I have met some pretty amazing people who have stories and experiences that some could not even imagine how they are still going. Hearing their stories and helping them transition into their own home is one of my favorite parts of my job. My door is always open if they need anything. For the guys who have a substance use disorder, I offer the Life Recovery work book program where we will sit down and discuss the 12 steps of recovery and how it relates to different stories in the bible. We also have several groups available to guests throughout the week including a Clean Sober Saved meeting & a weekly Men’s Devotion by Jamestown City Revival. for our guests to attend if they choose. Since I have started we have brought on some pretty amazing people that I get to call coworkers and I look forward to continuing to make some pretty amazing changes in the lives of those we work with.
