Pros
Some core people really do care about children. The front desk vibe on the Foster Care side seems dedicated to community uplifting
Cons
Back room meetings and hierarchy of members who’ve been there for many years. Therapists supervision time can often be turned into a dumping of projects/tasks that management needs help with. I wish there was more care for actually helping the clinicians feel comfortable, accepted, and welcomed there.
