It is really
amazing to have the opportunity to work at Child Protective
Services. In the Academy I was provided with information that would
assist me in my daily work in protecting children. Also in the
Academy, I learned the importance of knowing the stages of child
development to better understand the signs of child abuse. Child
Protective Services is an awesome place to work. |

I
am enjoying being a IV-E student. I have always thought of CPS as
thankless, unappreciated work. My internship has taught me that
while it could be, there are also many rewards to the job. I get to
work with great people, and help families who need it. I am seeing
many facets of social work with CPS; I don’t think that I could have
chosen an internship that would better prepare me for a career. |

I feel it is very important for social
workers in the Child Welfare field to participate in this program
because not only does it help social workers in continuing
education, it serves as a reward for all our hard work and motivates
us to develop our skills and gain greater levels of expertise in the
Social Work field. My experiences have been rewarding so far and it
makes me joyful to know that as a social worker and participant in
this program, I can empower the lives of children and their
families. |

My name is Stephanie Chavez.
Thus far I have been lucky enough to receive my own offices, computer, and
phone, but I hear that this is rare. My On the Job Training (OJT) office is
located in Tarrant County on Camp Bowie Blvd and my specialty track training
will consist of Conservatorship or on-going casework. This means that I will be
assigned cases following the investigation stage and becoming the primary worker
for both the children involved and the parents/guardians. My job will in a sense
be to offer any services to the family in order to obtain safe and secure
permanency and well-being for the children. Someday soon I will be someone’s
CVS caseworker. Someone to protect the unprotected, find ways to get it done,
manage outcomes, focus on customer service (clients), and value our people
(everyone). I am becoming DFPS!
