This included overnight trips like white water rafting and skiing, to day trips like visiting science museums, professional bull riding rodeo, haunted (Halloween) lair and ice skating.

I did intakes for new residents, weekly counseling sessions with the 11 residents, set up home visits, conducted weekly group therapy.

When families, DCS and staff agreed, we started home visits and after successful home visits the discharge process started.
