    Exhausting, demoralizing and unsupported workplace.
    The good thingsWorking to support children impacted by trauma was very meaningful. The staff providing direct services are very dedicated and professional.
    The challengesIncredibly toxic work environment and unrealistic expectations of work. Gaslighting from management. Extremely difficult work within child protection systems. Very understaffed for the volume of work.
