im a public health social worker at a non-profit that supports older adults and folks with disabilities ive been at my current job for over a year and im continually saving legislation and state regulations to my drive its helped me do my job better because ive been able to push back against bad practices and provide sources the regulations have also inspired me to design better agency forms and streamline our processes  during my first week i created an index to help me learn new terminology and its expanded to include legislation and government forms as well i also have a resources folder where i save information about lots of other subjects which are outside of the scope of our practice that occasionally come in handy   understanding the why helps me communicate to other professionals and the families we support because in addition to listening to their problem i either know the answer or can find it even if there isnt a good solution theyre able to trust that ive exhausted all options
