In honor of Social Work Month, we asked Chris Jaffer, CJR’s Chief Operating Officer, and one of CJR’s longest-tenured social workers what inspired her to pursue this profession:   “I was always fascinated by how people experience the world and how and why they make certain decisions, especially those who are impacted by traumatic events.   I wanted to learn as much as I could about this so I could help myself, my family and others understand how their life experiences affect them and how their world view is affected by what they experience.”   #SocialWorkMonth #CompassionPlusAction

Social Work is more than a job — it’s a way of life! We’re proud of all the work our social workers do day in and day out to nurture change and create possibilities for the individuals and families we serve.  🧡 🤝 🦸 Pictured: Clinicians from CJR’s Torrington office #SocialWorkMonth #CompassionPlusAction
