Not only was I was expected to do more as an MSW II, I was also pushed out of my comfort zone more often than in any other work setting. I believe that the most helpful part of this program is making sure that each intern has a field supervisor that is accessible if needed. Another helpful part was having at least one other intern in both of my field placements.

Many of our clients come from various backgrounds and cultures than we (both interns and staff) are accustomed to which you must be aware of when interacting with them. One thing I learned regarding our client population is that we do not have a defined client population other than every family with an open DFCS case has at least one child. Even then, that does not hold true for all clients coming to DFCS to get food stamps or Medicaid. Some insight that I gained while working with our clients is that people can become involved with DFCS in a variety of ways.
