Over the past year, I moved to Chicago to earn my Master’s in Social Work from the University of Chicago’s Crown Family School of Social Work, Policy, and Practice. Part of the program is completing a field placement at an agency of my choosing to receive hands-on experience working in the social work field. I chose to intern at the non-profit, Resilience, dedicated to the healing and empowerment of sexual assault survivors through counseling, individual and group trauma therapy, and medical and legal advocacy in the greater Chicago metropolitan area. Resilience also provides public education and institutional advocacy in order to improve the treatment of sexual assault survivors and to effect positive change in policies and public attitudes toward sexual assault. I intern with Resilience’s Education & Training Team where we provide prevention education to students starting in Kindergarten but ranging up to 12th grade and beyond. The lessons vary depending on age, but we generally talk to students about consent, healthy boundaries, safe & unsafe touches, the importance of reporting assault/harassment to safe adults, and how prevalent and preventable sexual assault is in our society. I have found the work to be incredibly fulfilling as I have tended to work one-on-one with survivors in therapeutic settings, so to be able to teach prevention education to students is deeply personal, meaningful, and important to me. When I am not in school or at my field placement, I enjoy bike rides along the lakefront, going to live music shows, meeting new people, and exploring the incredible city of Chicago!
