What I liked

I like engaging one on one with individuals with mental disabilities. I liked learning their strengths and weaknesses while at different job sites. I liked getting to know individuals on a both professional and personal level. It was such a very interesting experience because I had never worked within this type of industry so it was awesome how much I learned about mental disabilities and about myself as well. Overall was a great learning experience.

What I wish was different

I wish management would be more ethical and organized. I wish they would have taken into consideration the clients and their abilities to work long hours and try to organize it more efficiently.

Advice

This experience was such a great learning opportunity. Before this job I had never worked with this community, I had only worked in geriatrics as a nursing assistant. It was very rewarding to see clients who were unable to complete work to being able to complete a full shift without or mild behaviors. It was amazing to see the amount of progress the individuals in services put into their work ethics with some guidance from each individual coaches.
