Introduction

The organization I am interning for is the Department of Child Services (DCS). The organization is responsible for ensuring that children are kept safe. The goal is to help families stay together through intervention and community resources. I am currently operating as a case manager for the organization. In this role I will be working in the ongoing unit and managing a specified amount of cases. I will have to make monthly visits to children in DCS care. I will also have to help the parents of children in DCS care with special classes and resources to help them successfully get their children back. Court appearances are also required to state the organizations position. At DCS my day can be very unpredictable. It is important to be flexible when doing this job because in order to be successful you have to put in a lot of time and effort.
