Information on special guest Eric

I'm on a mission to keep our Social Service supervisee's in the field and thriving. Far too little emphasis is placed on their well-being and experience. Unfortunately, these are the reasons they are not thriving in the field and, more importantly, the reasons less-and-less of young people seek this career path.
