Employee Testimonials

  • I love SAFY because there is always room for change and growth. The child welfare system is far from perfect, and at SAFY, we can do better than the systems we operate in. Everyone truly cares and is mission driven. We are social justice warriors, genuinely caring for one another and the people we serve. Lastly, I love SAFY because my coworkers are hilarious, and humor is my love language.

    Christine Lynn, MS, MFT Lead Clinical Therapist , SAFY of Nevada

  • I love the amount of understanding, communication, and compassion they have for me during our training sessions…I’m allowed to ask many questions without judgment, and feel supported. I am greatly appreciative of this opportunity with SAFY.

    Gary Sosias, Case Manager I, SAFY of Ohio

  • I love empowering our children and parents to thrive in their current environment! SAFY’s leadership is stellar. My supervisor’s expertise and willingness to support her case managers is paramount to my success and growth. Thank you for allowing me the privilege to be a SAFY employee!

    Cynthia Jenkins, Case Manager II, SAFY of South Carolina

  • I absolutely enjoy the work that I do in making sure children in our program are receiving quality services. One thing I have learned is that you never stop growing. Each year, I have grown as a social worker through my various experiences with youth and staff! SAFY’s attention to customer service is a standout for me. We want to be there for our families and youth and go through great lengths to ensure our families, youth, and stakeholders have the best experience with us. I also think our commitment and emphasis on clinical innovation sets us apart from other organizations. Come prepared to work hard and you will be supported with all the tools you need to succeed.
