Meet the Advocate: Devon Ferguson, LSW
Devon Ferguson, LSW, began working at Child Advocates as a Social Worker in the fall of 2007 and was promoted to Social Work Supervisor by 2011. Devon's job responsibilities range from supervising case handlers, providing case consultations and helping address issues with the Client Relationship Management (CRM) database. On top of all that, she still manages her own caseload!
Devon always knew she wanted to work with families, so a career in social work was the perfect fit. Prior to joining Child Advocates she worked in a dual diagnosis residential outpatient treatment program with women who struggled with drug and alcohol addictions. She saw first-hand the impact that parents' addictions can have on their children and decided she wanted to be an advocate for children to give them a voice. After learning about Child Advocates from a friend, Devon was excited and inspired by our mission and applied for a job. It was a clear fit! "It may sound cliche, but here at Child Advocates I know I make a difference and I love that I get to support the staff in the great work we do."
At Child Advocates, Devon loves having an impact on a personal level with her individual clients, as well as fostering change on the broader child welfare system. She appreciates her co-workers and has formed lasting friendships while collaborating on our important work. Devon spends time with her husband, her adorable eight-month-old baby Charlotte, and her two dogs. Devon enjoys reading, going out to eat, and staying active.
