I spend about an hour or two in the office as I come and go from seeing clients. I usually spend most of my time with clients in the community, teaching and supporting people in "their" environment. Sometimes I help to transport people to medical appointments and accompany them through understanding their conditions or the several hurdles they may need to accomplish of obtaining their medications and following up with additional appointments. Sometimes I shop with people teaching about good nutrition and especially good nutrition on a budget. I also support people with their mental health symptoms, checking in with them and talking about coping with voices or severe depression. I help people get out of the house and get fresh air if they isolate and find it difficult to leave the house. I have even helped people with their pets to the vet and ensuring their important animals in their life are taken care of because this is all a part of staying mentally well and providing comfort.

In the daycare, walk in say hi and a whirlwind happens and suddenly it's home time. No day is typical in its details. We of course have structure/routine. But as much as I love my job it's way too exhausting to write about the whole day!
