Children and youth are always where my heart has been,\u201d Dye said. \u201cI went into the field of social work to be able to work with people. I enjoy supporting others as they grow and become successful in whatever they chose to do.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The foster care and adoption division at The Marsh Foundation continues to grow in order to meet the increasing number of children in care. Because trauma is common with children in foster care, the clinical component of the program continues to be extremely important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMany of the children we serve have suffered from neglect or various forms of abuse,\u201d said Kim Mullins, executive director of Child and Family Services at The Marsh. \u201cBecause of that, we put a strong emphasis on counseling within all of our programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dye said she is excited to be a part of the growth of the program at The Marsh.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLife can be tough and often we are not aware of just what others have experienced or are experiencing,\u201d she noted. \u201cI especially like being an advocate for someone who doesn\u2019t have a voice.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to let people know that there is someone on their side, who will listen to their concerns and then help them achieve their goals,\u201d Dye added. \u201cEveryone needs to know that there is someone in their corner.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The new foster care clinical care provider brings with her several years of experience as a medical\/hospice social worker at Community Health Professionals.
