Employee Spotlight
“I began my career at CHJC over three-years ago as an intern for my Master’s of Social Work program. My internship led to accepting a fulltime position at CHJC as a Crisis Outreach Worker. Colleagues as CHJC have encouraged me to challenge myself by taking part in activities I never previously saw myself participating in. In addition to my position in the Crisis Program, supervisory staff has seen my potential as a Clinician and I now have the opportunity to work part-time in the clinic. The encouragement and trust my colleagues have put into me have shown me that I can excel at whatever task is requested and whatever opportunity is offered. I honestly never thought I would see the day I would apply to take my licensure test, but due to leaders telling me they believe in me and trust in my work has made me ready to take the next step toward bettering my career at CHJC.”

Employee Spotlight
“I joined the CHJC team in 2018 as a Direct Care Professional and was quickly integrated into campus life. When the opportunity came for me to grow with the agency, I accepted the position of the Wrap Around Caseworker (WAC). During my time in the WAC program, I was able to maintain my connection to campus life and served campus needs. After leaving for a brief period in 2020, I ultimately made the decision to return to the agency when I heard about the positive changes that have taken place both in the agency and the WAC program. The current WAC caseworker and the team have worked so hard to build a successful program and I am grateful to be rejoining the team at this time. Since returning, I have received an overwhelming and supportive response and am excited for all the opportunities to come and to be part of the growth and change the agency is making.”
