I am currently interning at the Mobile Response Stabilization Services (MRSS) division based in Rockaway, NJ. The MRSS is a program designed to aid families in crisis and provide resources, support, and encouragement to better their situation. As an intern with the MRSS unit, I\u2019ve been responsible for attending dispatch, shadowing Crisis Intervention Specialists, and completing follow up documentation. After more experience with this program, I will be tasked with providing follow ups on the families we provide service to. Additionally, I\u2019m excited to say I will be getting involved with some of their outreach programs and legal department, assisting them with paperwork and attending court proceedings on behalf of Center for Family Services programs.<\/p>\n
Through my responsibilities and things I will experience, I strive to achieve greater understanding of how to apply my learned knowledge of social injustices and issues in a real-world setting. Similarly, I would like to continue to broaden my knowledge of the systems used to identify, address, and resolve domestic problems and families in crisis. Finally, I have goals to further my personal development by enhancing my critical thinking, leadership, communication, and networking skills.<\/p>\n
After I complete my time at the university, I am committed to attending law school and using my education to pursue a career in family and juvenile law. Achieving these goals at the MRSS will help me tremendously with my future career plans. Acquiring those first-hand experiences of the crises that families and children experience is crucial to preparing me for the social and domestic issues relating to the systems in the family that I will potentially have to face as a lawyer.<\/p>\n
I truly love and appreciate the work that is done at this program, and I am extremely grateful that I get to be a part of and contribute to the cause and services that this division provides.<\/p>\n
