The past few weeks I have finished my community rotation. I was able to continue working at WIC, as well as work with other community programs.
I had the opportunity to spend a day with the EFNEP/SNAP-Ed program. It was interesting to learn about the classes they teach and how they encourage their participants to take part in other community programs. They also try to attend multiple community events, including farmer's markets and produce fairs. I was able to attend a farmer's market and help with that event.
I was able to spend more time at WIC and do staff relief for the dietitians. It is helpful to see so many people and realize that each has a different story. What may work for one person will not work for the other. I feel much more confident in my one-on-one counseling skills.
I have helped polish and create some handouts that can be used throughout the county. It was good to work with the dietitians and see what needs they had.
I really enjoyed the last few weeks, and am glad for all the opportunities I gained.
