That\u2019s in large part because her parents were foster parents her entire life. Lisa was one of three biological children, and her parents fostered over 40 children and adopted two children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cMy sister was a child in foster care before my parents adopted her. Her caseworker made a huge impact in my life and I told my mom, \u2018I\u2019m going to be her one day!\u2019\u201d reflected Lisa. \u201cI admired how she was so personable when she came to visit and she really took the time to address us as a family unit. I\u2019ll always remember her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">After receiving her degree in criminal justice, Lisa spent time in her early career as a probation officer for more than 10 years before working for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate) of Tarrant County, Texas. Lisa joined the El Paso County Department of Human Services in 2019 as a lead caseworker and works on the Well Baby Court Program team, a voluntary program for parents with children between the ages of 0-3 who have an active dependency and neglect case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cOur goal is to provide intensive, wraparound services for families depending on what that family needs in order to reunify as soon as possible,\u201d said Lisa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">One recent case that stands out to her was a young child whose parents were impacted by substance use. As a result of the intervention, casework and services offered to these parents, both achieved sobriety within eight months. The child is now home with the parents and doing great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cYou just don\u2019t know how you\u2019re impacting people\u2014and it may be a long time from before it really sinks in,\u201d said Lisa. \u201cI received a text recently from a mom I had contact with over a year ago letting me know how well she and her family are doing. That keeps you going.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Another important element of Lisa\u2019s role is helping to onboard, train and teach new caseworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cLisa shares her love of this work with new workers and provides them with realistic expectations of the work,\u201d said Alyssa Morrow, Lisa\u2019s supervisor at El Paso County Department of&nbsp;Human Services. \u201cLisa is always looking for ways that she can provide new learning opportunities to her peers and provides exceptional support in handling difficult situations, processing through emotions, thinking outside the box and pointing her peers in the right direction to find solutions on their own.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Lisa always tells new caseworkers that while this job will be hard, it\u2019s also very fulfilling. \u201cI tell them that there will be hard days, but when you get those wins\u2014it makes it all worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Lisa also stresses the importance of a team mentality when it comes to casework, and that it\u2019s one of the ways she\u2019s found success in her career. She teaches new caseworkers that whether it&#8217;s&nbsp;them, the attorney, treatment provider or anyone else involved in the case, everyone must do their job to make the system work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThe phrase I use is, \u2018These cases are team sports and if we all work together, kids win,\u2019\u201d said Lisa. \u201cI try every day to live that and not just say it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In addition to the fulfillment she finds in her work, Lisa\u2019s favorite parts of the job are the benefits and the ability to interact with different kinds of people\u2014both families and her peers. She finds strength in the comradery and support she receives from her supervisor and her coworkers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cThis job fills my cup,\u201d said Lisa. \u201cIf you have a giving personality, this is a really good place for you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0884d4d2 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\"
