Community Family Guidance Center

You see approximately 22 client's a week and their families. You travel to a school as well as do home visits as needed. You learn a lot! You never know what a new client will have as a diagnosis when they walk in the door of your office. Some of the management is good, however, you never speak to the director. Your supervisor (the management) speaks to the director for you. Your co-workers are usually newly graduated students earning their hours for licensure and there is a bit of a revolving door. The hardest part of the job is working with many of the parents of the children who are not really interested in changing themselves and only want change in the child. Another hard part of the job was having a problem on a case, your supervisor not being at the agency and everybody being too busy to talk. The most enjoyable part of the job was the families that did respond to treatment and the friendship with colleages I made.

CFGC was a great place to work at. I worked there short term back in 2022. The Clinical support team weas great when I was there. The hybrid schedule was to be implemented once probation was over. They utilize a calendar that you must fill out with everything you do including drive time. This, I found a little "micromanagy". I ultimately left the job early due to distance of job and impact on personal family balance. However, this environment and agency is a great place to learn DMH styles and to grow as a clinician. You will be exposed to a variety of unique cases that can only mold you into a great clinician, especially with the support of clinical staff. 

I worked at this agency before COVID and left to return to school. I was able to balance my work life and home life very well. DMH work is hard and stressful.  But at the time this agency gave their workers incentives to balance their work load. You did need have a caseload that was home, school or office based. There were goals that you needed to meet monthly. I had a great clinical supervisor, training was available,  and you get your license hours quickly. Overall had a great experience at this agency.  

I worked at another agency where I had trouble getting hours towards my license.  It was frustrating.  Plus the productivity they expected was way too high.

At CFGC, they make sure you are getting your hours and the training is great.  They want you to succeed and help you to get there.

My supervisor really cares about me and my self- care.  She knows that this isn't an easy job, but it is so rewarding helping children and their families grow and change.  This is a great place to work!

In order to keep up with work load it was necessary to work nights and weekends. I often came home from a 8+ hour day and worked on documentation. They did offer extensive supervision, however, some supervisors were better at providing administrative supervision rather than clinical supervision. Some supervisors/director were supportive and provided incentives such as starbucks gift cards. The admin team was great! very helpful.

Cancel appointments, manage front office paperwork and etiquette. provided/ generated reports and manged inventory. Screened new clients and answer basic questions. Created new procedures for better process. Answer phone calls. Assist with Dr. duties and interpretation. instructed staff to follow new implemented procedures. conduct training on office procedures.

If you are looking for a great place to work, this is it!

There was a change in management about 2 years ago that has made all of the difference.  We now have a responsive management team committed to excellence in client care, while promoting self-care and work/life balance for the staff.  A culture of appreciation, transparency, and responsiveness to staff's needs has replaced the old regime.

I highly recommend this place if you want to be happy to come to work every day.

I have worked for CFGC for the past 10 years and I think it’s a great place to work! This is an agency that helped me grow from an MSW grad to a Licensed Clinical Social Worker to a Clinical Supervisor. The agency has seen me through the birth of my 3 babies and welcomed me back from maternity leave with a flexible schedule each and every time. The work is hard but rewarding, and the people are warm and welcoming.

Good learning opportunities as far as trainings in EBPs and accruing hours towards license. Bad burnt out level, high productivity standards with very low pay and subpar benefits. Supervisors some do the bare minimum some are great and burnt out. 

CFGC provides great services. I worked there a couple yrs ago and  it was going through many changes. The productive requirement are similar to other MHS agencies. When I worked there they had a high turn over of Clinical supervisors which was not helpful.
