Farewell
Catholic Social Services
February 2014
Karen Horrocks is leaving us after nearly four years as a member of the counselling team. Over this time Karen has helped many individuals and couples to make positive changes in their lives.
We thank Karen for all that she has done and wish her well for the future.
We were fortunate last year to have students Courtney Halliday and Briar Scragg working for us one day a week. Briar was in her third year of a Bachelor of Counselling degree, a requirement of which is to complete 100 hours of counselling work. In the nine months Briar was with us, she proved a wonderful asset to our team and was able to work with a number of different clients.
Part of Courtney’s Gap Year at Challenge 2000 entailed gaining work experience at another social service agency. Courtney soon picked up the reception work, always welcoming the clients with a warm smile which made them feel at home. Her IT skills were a real bonus – she was able to help some us to hone our skills on the computer to make our lives easier.
It was wonderful to have such gifted young women with us over the year and we wish them both well as they move on to the new phases in their lives.
