VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH - MARCH 2024
SUZY SMITH
I assigned Suzy Smith her first case on 10/05/2022. Prior to assigning the case to Suzy, I had contacted the DCFS case manager and was told that the mother was working on her case plan and the case might not be a long one. I learned that the mother had a long-term substance abuse issue but was maintaining her sobriety. There were two children, a baby named “Robert” and a preschooler named “Richard.” Robert was born substance-exposed and was receiving special services through Early Steps. Richard had speech delays and was also receiving services. Robert’s father lived in Opelousas and soon after Suzy was assigned the case his father was given custody after months of supervision, his case was closed.
