My first official "Real World" job . . .

So just in case you have not heard by now, I was lucky enough to land a job that I can actually use my degree in right after graduation. I work as a PSR specialist for a company called Center Counseling in Chubbuck, which is about 30 miles away from home. PSR stands for Psychosocial Rehabilitation, basically one-on-one, skills based training in the following areas: Psychiatric Symptom Management, Health/Medical, Vocational/Educational, Social/Interpersonal, Family, Housing, Basic Living Skills, and Community/Legal. The goal of PSR is to teach individuals who struggle with mental health issues things they can do to maintain their maximum level of independence. I currently have 4 full time clients that I work 5 hours a week per client with. The paper work keeps me busy while I am not actually working with clients. Well that is all I can really think about for now, my brain officially stopped working about an hour ago so I am going to go to bed now. I will post more a little bit later. . . this week. Until next time . . . keep it real!
