Paloma
My job title is Bilingual Intensive Case Manager. I have been working here for almost 4 years. My work involves providing comprehensive case management services to child victims of sexual abuse and their families. My goal is to assist parents in becoming self-sufficient while improving the systems that may support the family.
What I like about my job is seeing parents accomplish their goals, ranging from securing stable housing, engaging in their own therapy services, securing employment, etc.
I truly enjoy the work that I do and I feel honored to be part of the healing process for our clients and their parents.
