Chaucie's Place Practicum Student Searching for LMSW External Field Instructor
Hamilton County, IN 

Chaucie's Place, a Hamilton County-based nonprofit that works to prevent child sexual abuse and youth suicide, is looking for an LMSW who would be willing to serve as a back-up External Field Instructor for a master's level IUPUI Social Work student who is doing her practicum at Chaucie's Place.  The student currently has her External Field Instructor, but she is looking for a job out of state...the organization needs someone to be available as back-up.  She cannot do her practicum at Chaucie's Place without an approved back-up confirmed.  This would entail about 4 -5 meetings (between August 2016 and May 2017) to discuss the student's progress, make sure she is accomplishing her agreed upon tasks and help with any problems.  Please contact Toby Stark with any questions or interest:  toby@chauciesplace.org; 317-759-8008
