Each time I called and asked if I could get to treatment they told me ‘Yes’, without hesitation. … Had they said ‘No’ that last time, I might have ended up dead, or still be out there or in prison, or whatever. That’s pretty awesome, that I get to work with them now and help people the way I was helped.
Shalynn R: The Reason I Want to Be A Social Worker
CARE helped me to find a huge part of who I am. I love everything that I do with them, and I can’t wait to have a career where I get to do that sort of thing every day. That is the reason that I want to be a social worker.
