J De La Rosa, Student Intern

Hi, my name is J. De La Rosa. I am currently working on receiving an MSW degree from KU. I am very passionate about Social Work, although I am new to the field. In the past, I have served as an AmeriCorps member at the Willow Domestic Violence Center and have worked as a peer support specialist at Bert Nash. I strongly believe that addressing mental health issues is important. I decided to become a social worker to individually work with people and to advocate for ways to improve mental healthcare in our communities. In my individual practice, I am most interested in working with young adults as well as teenagers.
