it’s been real fred finch ✌️… almost 5 years working with system-involved youth and families at this agency. first with a short-term, intensive, behavioral program and then with a longer term therapy program - all done in the community (homes, schools, parks, etc). it was through the last program i learned how much i loved (in-person) family therapy. so when looking for my next job move, i prioritized it, along with other serious criteria like less exhausting workweek hours & paperwork, more pay, benefits, and in-house training/support/sense of community. if you haven’t heard from me in awhile, it’s bc of this time-consuming transition, closing with families i’ve considered my own and deliberately casting my job search net wide to find the right fit. although i’ll be in a bougie group practice now (with middle-class folks 😬), my nervous system can hopefully get some relieve from long workweeks and crap pay (thx neoliberal and libertarian policies relentlessly gutting our social/economic welfare system supporting the needed services found within community mental heath). i know i may have complained about fred finch especially towards the end, but it has given me so many sweet clinical skills, lifelong compas, a path to licensure, and a secure employment home base soon after returning home from nyc and during the pandemic. will miss those sweet benefits, that gorgeous campus and views and located only a mile from my first home, and ofc my families 💜❤️🩹 #communitymentalhealth #fredfinch #nonprofitindustrialcomplex #transitionalobjects #warmhandoffs #oaklandbeauty #socialworkerpride #licensedtogetpaid #theBaybepricey #familytherapy #groupwork #healing #traumainformedcare #attachmentbasedtherapy #efft #hopetolearnifsnow (at Bay Area, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CobswsuOgSDHXaTtKq-6yytwv_Y-2BZYcTB9vI0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
