She had never heard of a degree in social work until she transferred to Illinois State University her junior year. She\u2019d always been passionate about helping others, so it didn\u2019t take her long to decide it was the right career path for her. After graduating with her bachelor\u2019s degree in Social Work, Brandie moved to Colorado and gained work experience through positions at the Comitis Crisis Center, Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health and Denver County Human Services before becoming a child welfare caseworker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWorking in residential treatment and then for social services gave me a great perspective on how to navigate various systems and serve the many different needs of families,\u201d said Brandie. \u201cMeeting with people receiving benefits and coming up with a case management plan to help connect them with jobs, housing and additional resources ultimately prepared me for my career as a caseworker.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Brandie started as a generalist caseworker in Clear Creek County with a tight-knit group of colleagues and a supervisor she remembers fondly more than 20 years later. In 2008, after relocating to Firestone with her husband, Brandie joined the Larimer County Department of Human Services, initially in an hourly position while she raised her three children and appreciated a more flexible schedule. Eventually, she transitioned to a full-time position as an intake caseworker where she evaluates high-risk assessments, looks into concerns and gathers information to determine what types of services are needed for a family. More than 14 years later, Brandie still finds her role satisfying, interesting and challenging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cI like intake work because I\u2019ve always felt like I should\u2019ve been in the FBI,\u201d added Brandie. \u201cI really enjoy digging into a case\u2014researching, gathering information and putting the pieces together to ensure we\u2019re looking at the full picture.\u201d Brandie\u2019s Larimer County supervisor, Katie Heckman, said that\u2019s one of the attributes that makes her such a special caseworker. \u201cBrandie is truly the most compassionate and thorough caseworker I have ever met,\u201d said Katie. \u201cWhen she gets an assessment, there is no stone left unturned. She spends hours upon hours researching history, understanding family dynamics and having conversations with family members to decipher what is happening.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Recently, Brandie went above and beyond to connect a father who was struggling with alcoholism to resources and treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cEven after she had secured safety for the children, Brandie visited this father at his home on several occasions and showed him that she truly cared about his health and wellbeing,\u201d said Katie. \u201cSince he entered his treatment program, he has been in contact with Brandie to keep her updated on his progress and thank her for her support\u2014he even invited her to his graduation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Brandie is also passionate about trying to change the community\u2019s perception of the child welfare system and how it supports families. \u201cI try to encourage people to accept the help that\u2019s here for them, while also helping them understand the process to alleviate their fears or<br>worries about our involvement.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Brandie has remained in this profession for so many years in large part due to the supervisors and coworkers she\u2019s had throughout her career. She\u2019s learned how to take care of herself and set boundaries, while also continually leaning on her supervisors and coworkers for support when she needs it. She\u2019s also developed strong and lasting relationships with the families she serves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">&nbsp;\u201cI really enjoy making the connections that I do with families,\u201d said Brandie. \u201cMany people will reach out years later and ask questions, which demonstrates a great level of trust. I\u2019m still in touch&nbsp;with someone from my caseload in Clear Creek in 1999.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-0884d4d2
