Fostering Sobriety in Grand Rapids
Emily
Major: Psychology
As a Resident Support Specialist (RSS), I play a consistent and active role in our clients' treatment plans. Sanford's RSS staff are responsible for driving clients to off-site excursions and recovery meetings to foster social inclusion and build community. From detox to discharge, the RSS must provide a judgment-free environment, active listening, and emotional co-regulation skills. RSS staff are the liaisons between clients and other facility staff. We are the first people the clients greet in the morning and the last people they wish a good night. RSS are also to hold clients accountable by assigning simple chores, providing occasional behavioral redirection and intervention, and administering routine drug screenings.
Individual Community Living Service Mentor
Connor
Major: Psychology
I worked as an Individual Community Living Service (ICLS) Mentor. In this job, you are paired with individuals with different disabilities and are tasked with helping them meet their goals (which have already been established) within the community. This can range from ensuring they are conducting themselves in a safe manner, to not excessively waving to strangers or using inappropriate boundaries - it is super unique by individual.
