LINDSAY HAS BEEN INTERNING WITH US HERE AT THE CHILD ADVOCACY CENTER OF LAPEER COUNTY FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS. DURING HER TIME HERE, SHE HAS EXPERIENCED A WIDE RANGE OF OPPORTUNITIES THAT WE HOPE WILL HELP PREPARE AND GUIDE HER THROUGHOUT HER FUTURE CAREER. LINDSAY SHARES SOME TIPS FOR FUTURE INTERNS BELOW: <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n

My name is Lindsay and I grew up in Davison, MI and graduated from Davison High School in 2014. When I first graduated, I knew that I wanted to go to college but I was still undecided on what path I wanted to take. Eventually, I declared my major as social work and developed a passion for it.<\/p>\n

 Hearing and learning about the various social injustices and abuse that goes on every day right in our own communities made me become interested in a career that works to promote social justice. I had learned about the different types of social workers in school and I thought an advocacy job sounded like something I would enjoy, so that I could support and speak on behalf of people without a voice.<\/p>\n

I have enjoyed the work I\u2019ve been doing here at CAC Lapeer and I have gotten to see a little bit of how an Advocacy Center works from behind the scenes. I have had the opportunity to sit with children and families during the forensic interview process and help the children feel more at ease while they are here. I have also gotten to observe forensic interviews with the Multidisciplinary Team, as well as witness sentencings in court. I have conducted follow-up calls, written blogs, and compiled resources for the CAC to use to refer clients to. I am grateful for the opportunities and the learning experiences that the Child Advocacy Center has provided for me. <\/p>\n

Here are some tips I have for future interns at CAC Lapeer:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

-You will meet with your supervisor before and after your activities; use this time to ask any questions or share any thoughts, feelings, or fears you may have<\/p>\n

-You\u2019ll get out of your internship what you want to; let your supervisor know if there are things you would like to experience more or things that you would rather not do<\/p>\n

-Don\u2019t be too nervous when meeting with the families; they are just people, who are probably more nervous than you are<\/p>\n

-Have your own list of resources in the community available in case you need to refer clients to them<\/p>\n

-Ask questions about the agency or anything that you are particularly curious about so you can maximize your learning experience throughout your internship<\/p>\n
