mari4212...are becoming more and more useful.
I just finished my first week at House of Ruth. So far the most useful thing for my work has been the fact that I was taught SOAP note charting for massage clinic work. Like any other service work, documentation is key, and the DAP note system in House of Ruth is similar enough that I can apply a lot of my experience straight over. I actually got complimented by one of the client service coordinators because the notes that I had from my meeting with her client were perfectly done.
I'm getting a bit more used to the building and some of my co-workers. I'm still working on exactly what my duties are going to be on a day to day basis, though from the sound of it I'll be doing a lot of intakes: getting information from people who have been referred into services that need a client service coordinator, starting their files going, and passing that information on to my supervisor for assignment out to various CSCs. I'll also be doing some work at the CSC desk in the shelter, providing small miscellaneous needs for the clients when their CSC isn't available.
I haven't done much with the clients yet, though I have done a few follow-up calls and got sent to talk to someone in the shelter by the CSC who liked my notes for that visit. Next week I get the IPV training in depth, plus some more training on the software I'll be using for doing documentation of everything. After that will be when they'll really get me started on things I think.
