Rose Pope

Position: Mental Health Practitioner

Program: CTSS

Location: Brainerd High School

Hired: 2023

Works with clients ages: 15-18

I absolutely love my job! Helping adolescents grow into the best version of themselves is incredibly rewarding. I enjoy learning about my clients’ goals and finding creative ways to support them in achieving those goals. Collaborating with my team to brainstorm and discover new skills that can better serve our clients is something I truly enjoy. The confidence I’ve gained in this role has been invaluable. I’m proud to have taken on the role of site coordinator at BHS and to lead a school-based mental health class for the students at BHS.

Northern Pines is an incredible agency to work with! I really appreciate the opportunities for growth and change within the organization. Over the summer, I had the chance to work on the island with our new respite program, and it was truly the most rewarding experience. Watching the kids develop boundaries and coping skills while enjoying the beauty of the outdoors was unforgettable

In my free time, I love spending time with my partner, friends, and family. I often take road trips back home to Wisconsin to visit my ever-growing family. Being a big foodie, I also enjoy exploring new restaurants and trying different cuisines. Lastly, I find great joy in relaxing outdoors, reading a book in my hammock, and soaking in the fresh air.
