I worked as a respite counselor for a year with children who suffer from mental health issues. This position is challenging but yet rewarding. I am able to strengthen my active listening, influencing, and problem solving skills while building trusting relationships with my clients. Our therapeutic sessions are spent in different settings. I present respite to my clients as a free space and make them feel as comfortable as possible.
