After graduating from Auburn University at Montgomery, she started her career in Alabama working in social services at a domestic violence shelter. This experience as a case manager supporting kids coming from homes where domestic violence and abuse occurred ignited her passion for child advocacy. Jocelyn\u2019s work also translated to advocating for her son in her personal life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cMy wife and I have&nbsp;a 14-year-old son who wasn\u2019t getting the right education and support for his behavioral needs at the time,\u201d said Jocelyn. \u201cI advocated all the way up to the state level to get him what he needed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Ultimately, Jocelyn and her family decided to relocate to Colorado, where Jocelyn started her role as an Intake Caseworker in Child Welfare at Denver County Department of Human Services in June 2020. In her role, Jocelyn works with kids of all ages, but her passion lies in supporting teenagers between the ages of 13 and 17. This involves working with the Denver courts to identify placement and services for these youth, including foster or kinship placements or residential treatment programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI know these kids are our future\u2014they\u2019re our next senators, entrepreneurs and business owners,\u201d said Jocelyn. \u201cI\u2019m a big advocate for looking at the least restrictive options for these youth. What resources and supports can we implement in the home with the parents so they can be successful?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Being raised in a close-knit family in Alabama, Jocelyn\u2019s mom instilled in her that it truly takes a village to raise a child. \u201cI go into every referral with that mindset,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s also important to Jocelyn to relate to the families with whom she\u2019s working to help gain their trust and to let them know she\u2019s there to provide them with resources and support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWhen I\u2019m working with a family, I tell them that I\u2019m not only a caseworker, but also a mom. In fact, I\u2019m a Black mom,\u201d said Jocelyn. \u201cI understand. I have a teenager who\u2019s defiant as well. None of us have parenting manuals. I just try to be human and let them know that I\u2019m not here to talk down to them or criticize their parenting. I\u2019m here to support them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cJocelyn is a strong advocate who is willing to stand up for children and families; best interests. She can build connections with Denver youth in a short time frame to assess for their safety and wellbeing, ensuring that youth voices are included in planning and decision making for their future,\u201d said Anna Vavruska, Jocelyn\u2019s supervisor at Denver County Department of Human Services. \u201cIt should also be noted that Jocelyn has demonstrated an ability to work with diverse clients and families. Through her authentic empathy and listening skills, she has been able to engage several families where other caseworkers or agencies have struggled in the past.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Jocelyn appreciates the flexibility of the job\u2014she\u2019s able to take her son to school in the morning and pick him up in the afternoon\u2014as well as the wraparound support she receives from her supervisor and colleagues. But most of all, Jocelyn appreciates the texts she gets from families who thank her for showing up on their doorstep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cTo not get a referral back from a family because I hear how well the kids are doing is a win for me,\u201d said Jocelyn. \u201cEspecially when it\u2019s the families who recognize that while the intervention may not have been wanted originally, it was needed.\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\"
