About Gwendolyn

For the past ten years, I have devoted my vocation assisting others to meet their own human needs by utilizing acquired knowledge, prevention tactics, and maintaining a commitment to improving the quality of life for all my clients. They have also received service delivery systems which included quality direct services, program accessibility/accountability, intake sessions, client-centered Treatment Plans, and coordinated delivery of services with the involvement of external stakeholders, as deemed warranted. My clientele base has included homeless women with children, teens, developmentally disabled, incarcerated males, disabled seniors, and others who experienced issues with sexual assault, domestic violence, mental health, disabilities, alcohol/drug abuse, and mental/emotional abuse - most of their lives. Implementation of other duties as case manager: Monitor, developmental skills trainer, supportive counselor, mental health test assessor, facilitator, program orientation, referrals, client advocating, coordinator, maintaining client files, consultant, and also performed "intense" case manager protocols. As a helping professional, my paramount focus is maintained by supporting clients to (a) enrich their daily lives and (b) to provide them with options on how they can create their own pathways to obtain a better quality of life for self and their entire familial unit. I have chosen to focus my attention on the senior population because children and the elderly have the greatest history of experiencing the most vulnerabilities and disparities in their lives.
