MSW Kate Geist 2022 Agency Name: Service Access and Management Profile: SAM is an agency that focuses on providing services and resources to its clients through case management and Certified Peer Specialist Services. SAM has eight different service lines. Therefore, there is always a specific service line/area for each client. No matter what unique situation clients may present, SAM will still try and cater to those specific needs for the clients we serve. Field Placement Responsibilities: I am shadowing two different positions at my agency. I am shadowing the “supervisor” role, and the “case worker” role. For the “supervisor” role, I typically attend frequent supervisor meetings to discuss current topics and concerns within the agency. I also have built-in “work from home” days where I get to handle paperwork, online trainings, and data spreadsheets as a part of other tasks I partake in. While shadowing the “case worker” role, I typically follow case workers around throughout the day while they meet up with several clients and provide various different resources/services that may be needed. I usually watch case workers exemplify the social worker role of a “broker.” Future Goals: To become an administrator that oversees an agency’s overall successes/failures, as well as finding ways to make sure an agency is efficiently providing the resources and services it claims to provide.
