One of the first things I did in the morning on Friday was head to the Catholic Youth Cares (CYC) main office down town. Those of you who were on the trip to Ireland with me, we went to it when we went to hear the women speak about Catholic Youth Care in Dublin. We met up with the women who supervises the Garda Diversion Projects for Catholic Youth Care. Eileen was meeting with her to go over some training with a drug resource book. While Eileen was getting some copies of stuff, I spoke to her more about her role in the project and how it all came together. She was great and so wonderful with me, answering all my questions and letting me look through her resource books which she had a ton of.
After the office visit we made our way to have lunch and do our weeklie supervision at the same time. She wanted to take me out as it was our last one. It went well. I can't say enough how great Eileen was with me through this whole process. She was amazing as a supervisor giving me honest feed back. Giving me a balance of positives and constructive criticism. I said it before I even got here, a supervisor can make or break a placement and she for sure has made mine. I have been so lucky to have her helping me explore and learn about the centre and even trying to give me a real view into youth services in general in Ireland. I am so thankful.. and so sad it's almost over.
Eileen then took me to the train station as it was 'lashing' out and she did wanted to make sure I made it there on time. I then headed off for my last weekend in Ireland.
