This March, we’re celebrating our in-house social worker Elan Slavin for Social Worker Awareness Month. Growing up, Elan knew she wanted to become a social worker because of the positive experiences she had with hospital social workers when her mom was ill. After getting her Bachelors and Masters degrees in Social Work, completing internships at hospitals, working at Golden Gate Regional Center as a case manager for young kids, and taking time to raise her own children, she found Family House. “Every day, I get to come to work and show up as nothing but myself – and to have families share their stories and put their trust in me is the greatest gift I could ever receive.” Read her story. |
