I also got a new job! I'm working as a behavior coach at a local non-profit agency. I work with kids that are in danger of being removed from their homes. CPS and other collaborators have worked out a plan to improve certain behaviors over time so the child does not have to be removed, and I go in and work with the children on those behaviors. Right now I don't have my own clients, but I'm shadowing a behavior coach and we're working with a 17 year old poly-substance abuser, a 10 year old moderately autistic boy with serious anger issues, and a 10 year old suicidal, bipolar boy. Call me crazy, but I love it and I cannot wait to get my own clients.
We miss living near my parents, but we are (well mostly I am) enjoying living close to all my girl friends and my sister. Such a fun time!
And hopefully I'll have some posts a little more often now! (no promises though!)
