MSW Katherine Poupos 2022 Agency Name: Montgomery County Office of Children and Youth Profile: The agency is a child welfare agency and its focus is to ensure safety, permanency, and well-being of children. Field Placement Responsibilities: My field placement responsibilities are within the truancy unit. The truancy unit provides services to families who are experiencing truancy within the school district for their school-aged children. I will learn policies, laws, and regulations in relation to truancy and child welfare. I will observe court hearings, home visits, screen truancy referrals and may have the opportunity to complete a full assessment of a truancy referral. Future Goals: My future goals are to finally graduate this Spring with my MSW and hopefully obtain my LSW. I would like to continue my career in child welfare and move up throughout the agency to a supervisor role. Department of Social Work
