Jennifer Taylor (JenniferLTaylor97)

I am a social worker with my BSW. I have a passion for helping vulnerable communities. I particularly find interest in juvenile delinquency, mental health, eating disorder treatment, the LGBTQIA+ population, hospice care, child protective services, and substance use treatment. I believe all clients have the right to self-determination, and it is the social worker's job to aid clients in their recovery and growth in their ability to self-advocate.

I am also a passionate writer, and hope to use my writing to spread awareness about the human rights issues many experience across the world every day.
