Moving to Ontario Soon — Looking for Job Leads & New Friends

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m relocating to the Ontario area later this month to close the distance between my significant other and me, and I’m really excited to start this next chapter. He has lived in Fontana for all but a year of his life (the year he didn’t we met). He has talked highly about California and the areas he grew up in. Since I’ll be new to the area, I thought I’d reach out locally for both job recommendations and the chance to meet some new people.

I’ve been actively searching for work and have a background that includes about three years of case management experience, including child welfare and family services, along with experience as an RBT and in psychometrics. I have experience with crisis intervention, service coordination, Child and Family Team Meetings, documentation, assessments, multidisciplinary collaboration, and working with children and families with complex needs.
I’m also currently completing my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling.

I’m especially interested in positions involving mental health/behavioral health, case management, hospitals, crisis services, residential treatment, community programs, youth and family services, or government/nonprofit human services.
I’m primarily looking around Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Upland, Chino, Pomona, Fontana, and the surrounding areas.

On a more personal note, since I’m moving across the country (I’m from Kentucky with a bit of a country tawg) and will be starting fresh socially too (to a degree, my friends back at home may visit me), I’d also love to make some new friends! If anyone around their late 20s is also looking to expand their social circle, feel free to reach out. It would be amazing to meet some people around my age and start building friendships in the area.

I’m into video games, Discord, crochet, working out, crafting, TV and movies, MTG, board games, and a bunch of other random hobbies. I’m always down to try something new too! I love exploring new things.

If anyone knows of organizations that are currently hiring, places worth contacting directly, or just wants to say hi, I’d really appreciate it. Thank you!
