BSW Intern, Pathways to Permanency
“A positive experience that stood out during my internship was
all of the support from staff, my field supervisor, and my task
supervisor. They provided me with a substantial amount of
information to further my career and education in
social work. They went above and beyond to make sure that I
received a variety of opportunities in a short period of time.”

Behavioral Services
“My supervisors were collaborative and went above and beyond to
ensure I got my hours and supervision in order to graduate on
time, I am thankful for the opportunity to intern at SSYAF
because it allowed me to further my career as a clinician and
continue my learning experience in a different department.
“ - Vanessa Sunahara
MSW Clinical Student Intern, Wraparound Program
“My work supervisors understood my time was divided with my
internship and respected that designated time. Everyone I
worked with ensured I was learning and getting experienced I
wanted and needed. Grace was a consistent rock each week at our
designated check ins. She was equally fantastic at supporting me
wrapping up thoughts from the week before and preparing for the
week coming up. Grace was insightful and asked thought provoking
questions.” - Jesse Rosales

(YCBFS) Woodland
“I thoroughly enjoy working with the YCBFS team and my
supervisors, Jacquenette and Grace, have been incredible
supports. It would be impossible for me to list all the benefits
that I have acquired from completing my first and second
practicum with the agency. I doubt that at any other practicum I
would have gotten the same experience in conducting assessments,
therapy sessions, CFT meetings, and collateral sessions. I have
gained confidence in my own ability to connect with youth and
parents and to coordinate with system partners. Jacquenette is
one of the best examples of a leader that I have seen in the
workplace. She has the perfect balance between being empathetic
and solution focused when problems arise. Despite having an
incredibly busy schedule Jacquenette always prioritized checking
back with me if I called and would let me know the soonest time
that she was available. Grace always managed to make me feel
heard and valued and I will miss getting to meet with her
weekly.” - Danielle Clark
