A
As
a
social
worker,
I
have
to
do
a
lot
of
advocacy,
especially
with
the
geriatric
population
and
also
mental
health.
My
job
is
to
evaluate
and
see
what
their
needs
are,
monitor,
that
they're
taking
medications
speak
with
their
doctors
and
the
psychiatrist,
who
I
work
with
to
ensure
that
our
clients
are
doing
as
well
as
they
can,
because
if
the
client
is
not
taking
care
of
their
own
needs,
then
we
need
to
provide
some
type
of
intervention
to
assist
them
and
then
monitor
and
make
sure
they're
safe
at
home.
A
A
The
county
has
done
a
good
job
of
letting
us
know
that
that's
an
option
and
my
supervisor
has
been
really
good
about,
encouraging
that
whenever
necessary,
what
really
differentiates
arlington
county
from
other
places
that
I've
worked
at
is
that
arlington
has
the
resources
that
you
need
in
order
to
do
a
good
job.
I've
worked
in
other
mental
health
communities
or
hospitals.
A
Where
we
didn't
have
the
computers
we
didn't
have
the
option
of
telework.
It
was
very
limited
as
to
what
we
could
do
for
the
clients.
So
what
puts
arlington
county
ahead
of
that
is
that
they
work
hard
to
help
us.
The
employees,
have
the
resources
necessary
to
work
with
our
clients
and
try
to
give
the
best
that
we
can.
A
I
believe
that
our
working
for
arlington
county
is
a
great
opportunity.
It's
not
just
the
job
you're
doing,
but
it's
also
a
place
where
it
rewards
you.
If
you're
trying
to
improve
yourself,
if
you're,
trying
to
gain
more
knowledge
in
the
field,
want
to
go
to
trainings,
if
you're
trying
to
become
better
at
your
job,
it's
it's
a
great
place
to
provide
encouragement
and
the
resources
necessary
to
help
you
become
better
at
your
job
or
become
better.
