I am the New Warm Springs Health & Wellness Social Worker. I started on December 6, 1 999. 1 knew I liked the area very much when I interviewed for the position at the end of October 1999, but now I have had so many things to think about. I was excited to live in a small town for the first time in my life. I was excited to have the opportunity to work with a whole new population, and to be part of the beautiful Health Center you have in this area. I am a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in Home Health experience for seven years. During that time, I also had the op portunity to work exclusively with the Hospice Program in home heal th. This was an experience that was deeply enriching for me as far as understanding my own feelings about my own death as well as exploring different aspects of my own spiritu ality. At that time, I developed many close relationships with my patients as well as their families. I have a high interest in-group work as I have facilitated caregiver groups, bereavement groups and breast cancer support groups. Geri atrics was my focus of study during my graduate school. I have worked extensively with senior, and am amazed at all, they have taught me. In home health, I have enjoyed work ing in rural areas as they give a sense of belonging that I enjoy. For the last lOyears, I have worked as a Family Preservation Therapist for the Utah State Division of Hu man Services. This gave me the ex perience to work with the younger generation; I had not worked with before. The majority of my responsi bilities were with individual and fam ily therapy, in the home setting. I was born and raised in Denmark, consequently I feel "like I have landed in heaven", when I tasted your won derful smoked salmon. The ocean surrounds Denmark, so I grew up eating many fresh fish. I have lived in Utah for many years, raising my two daughters there. One daughter is married with two sons and the other is starting college there. I am very grateful to be working in an area so rich in history and traditions. I already feel very wel comed around the community. Like the Danes, people from this area like to eat and I have tasted some wonder ful food at the Longhouse, the Senior Program and at the Clinic during cooking classes. People of this area have a wonderful sense of humor, w hich helps me on my job, by being able to joke and laugh with patients. I hope to be able to assist the people of this area with their needs in any way I possible can at the Health Clinic or in your homes. The nature around here is breathtaking and I am looking forward to watching the different seasons as well as learning more about the Warm Springs Tribes cul ture and traditions.
