”I brag about Interim wherever I go & I am so proud to be a part of it. I have worked in hospitals on mental health units since the early 90’s and I have never encountered a staff that values & respects the client’s like I have at Interim.
A Nurse
I am the Outreach Coordinator for the MCHOME Program. My job essentially is to supervise a team of Outreach Counselor IIs throughout Monterey County and assist these Counselor IIs in connecting homeless individuals to local services and providers, whether with Interim Inc. or other service providers. A lot of what I do is just walking alongside clients. I can’t run the race for them, but I can help them along in the race and help them determine what kind of steps to take. I think the best part about my job is the diverse amount of people I work with. I get to work with various Interim staff, as well as many community members and organizations. I also get the opportunity to understand our clients, identify with their story, and help them progress forward.”
