Meet Sophia Suarez-Friedman! She's a clinical social worker and coordinator of the Watertown Social Services Resource Specialist Program at the Wayside Youth and Family Support Network. We talk about her early experiences with social work in DC and why the field is interesting and important to her, coming to Wayside in Watertown and how she fell in love with the community and its people, we dig into what Wayside does and its history in Watertown, the resources and ways she helps support people, housing in Watertown, being part of a group that started the community fridge, and more.

If you or someone you know needs help, reach out at 617-744-9585 or online.

Let me know you're coming to the very first (and free) Creative Chats event! January 17th, 830-10am at the Mosesian Center for the Arts.
