172 Words1 Page

I feel that my field experience has prepared me for social work practice by, allowing me to see many different situations. It helped me to see children in desperate need as well as children who have everything they could possibly need. I personally feel as though I should know how to work with insurance companies. However I have learned you don’t need to know this information as a school social worker. Therefore I go back and forth about it. I loved my placement! I enjoyed waking up in the mornings and thinking I get to go to Creekview today. One thing I would change about Creekview or suggest would be for the new interns to have do some much 504 plans where they sit at a desk all day. Let them get out and see the students.

  • DFCS Reflective Essay

    584 Words  | 3 Pages

    My biggest expectation going into the internship at DFCS was that I would learn more about the social work/social services field and confirm that social work was truly what I wanted to spend my life doing as a career. I also expected to confirm my thought that DFCS was a place I would enjoy working and could see myself working in the future after graduate school. This internship met my personal expectations, however it happened in a way much differently than I expected. While the internship experience did confirm that I love social work and the social services field, it showed me that DFCS is not the agency that I want to work with as a career. I stand behind DFCS 100%; however, I don’t think I could work with DFCS long term.

    The social work practice skills I have achieved to date include a wide range of communication and interpersonal skills that have been developed through writing up case notes after meetings with clients, as well as debriefing with other social workers. Advocacy skills have been developed through liaising with other services and speaking with supervisors to extend clients financial and casework support. Further, active listening skills have been developed through listening to the client’s needs and asking important follow up questions; this has allowed me to establish trust with my clients and obtain a better understanding of their circumstances.
