finally given its proper weight.

the recognition they earned.

Desiree Fontaine
LCSWHospice Director, Northwestern Medicine
“Fresh out of my MSW, I was competing against people with years of experience. Advocate helped me frame my 900 clinical hours and field placements so powerfully that I landed a competitive hospital psychiatric unit position.”
Marcus Webb
MSWPsychiatric Social Worker, Mass General Hospital
“Twenty-two years in CPS, then I decided to open a private practice. I had no idea how to translate all of that into something a private-pay client would trust. Advocate made it clear, confident, and human.”
Tamara Osei-Bonsu
LCSW-CPrivate Practice, Trauma & Family Therapy
“The school district wanted someone with documented program development experience. I had it — but my résumé didn't show it. Advocate dug out the data I'd forgotten I had. I start in September.”
Priya Venkataraman
MSW, SSWDistrict School Social Worker, Chicago Public Schools

Jordan Calloway
