SUMMARY:CSW Graduate Thrives in Rewarding Senior Care Career
DESCRIPTION:“I can honestly say that I would not be in my amazing and fulfilling job as a Link Worker with the Seniors Outreach & Resource Centre if I hadn’t attended Focus College’s Community Support Worker program and been placed there for my practicum.  I love that I am directly utilizing skills in my role that were taught to me in the course (e.g.: writing case notes\, using active listening skills\, etc.); that I understand the terms that my co-workers use when they speak about client issues; and that I have knowledge about the aging process to help me understand what our senior clients are going through (such as cognitive/emotional/physical changes and decline). \nMy training at Focus College has helped me to operate in my position with confidence as I learn even more skills and expand my capabilities.  I am happy to be able to contribute to and help seniors in my community\, and I am so grateful to Focus College for setting me up for success!” \n  \n__Stacey Lalonde
