Shields for Families

Mental Health Case Manager Intern and Case Manager Intern

February 2019 • Compton, CA

What I liked

I really enjoyed my first internship placement with SHIELDs working as a Mental Health Case Manager. I was able to shadow different trust building activities with the young children and see how therapist work with toddlers. As for my second internship with this agency, I enjoyed receiving knowledge and information on resources within my community.

What I wish was different

My second internship wasn't as pleasurable as my first placement within SHIELDs due to some communications issues and approaches to learning. I wish I would have been able to shadow more before being thrown into the Case management.
