Pros

Great to get to know the kids and see them improve

Cons

Very low supervision. They promote a trauma-informed approach and sanctuary model but do not follow through in its implementation. I felt incredibly unsupported by staff and coworkers. The job can be very dangerous - physically and emotionally.

Pros

I loved the freedom to create the Prevention Program the way I wanted to. It was a wonderful way to try out new curriculum, develop therapeutic groups to meet current client needs, etc. Working in schools was great and there was a nice partnership between the agency and the school.

Cons

I did not feel supported as an employee. Clinical supervision was lacking and due to the nature of the position I was the only mental health professional in the school regularly. The caseloads were high and very intensive in needs. Lots of crisis intervention work, which was good practice but bad for burnout.

Pros

The kids are great to work with. Generally people who work here are not looking to get rich, they are looking to make a difference in the lives of children and adolescents. Trillium has a wonderful trauma informed culture with great values. It has an atmosphere of hope and healing and is working hard on becoming sanctuary certified. Trillium family services is doing a great job practicing the latest evidence-based treatments and philosophies of care. I've never had such good supervisors at any other job. The staff here a special set of people.

Cons

If you are a recent graduate you will not be able to afford to survive on the pay they offer you as a skills trainer. You will not be able to make rent, student loan payments and afford to feed and clothe yourself. You cannot support a family on this wage. If you have 1 child the pay is not a living wage and you will be below the poverty line and will qualify for welfare benefits. The required annual income for survival for just 1 adult and 1 child in Benton County is $39,848. Many staff get badly injured from working here and they need to be getting paid more for the sacrifice.
