MSW Field Profiles 2018-19

MSW Teyonna Brown 2018-2019 Agency Name: Children's Home of Reading Profile: The Children’s Home of Reading is a sanctuary for children whom have suffered abuse and have mental health issues associated with those traumas. The Children’s Home of Reading has been open since 1884 serving the needs of children and responding to families in crisis in the Berks county area and surrounding communities. Their goal is to treat children and prepare them for success in life. Field Placement Responsibilities: I intern at one of their community- based programs called the Acute Partial Hospitalization Program or APHP for short. The APHP program provides a therapeutic environment for children who are unable to function in schools and community environments. My responsibilities include observing, facilitating and cofacilitating groups, assist in helping the children participate in groups and class activities, observe and assist in the intake process, observe meetings and assist in supervising children. Future Goals: I hope to complete my master’s degree and become a licensed social worker and open a practice. Then, I would like to obtain my clinical license and go back to school to obtain my doctorate degree. Department of Social Work
