What Drives Me?

“Most of my social work career has been in the field of geriatrics where my clients have provided me a rich source of insight on how to approach the complexities of aging. Advocacy has been a large part of my social work practice but often it is not viewed as “clinical work”. Yet, I have experienced solving complex advocacy issues can be very therapeutic bringing balance in an individual’s life during a crisis. I have derived enormous satisfaction seeing a family’s level of stress reduced sometimes just doing small things”.

Client Testimonials

 5/5

Hector was very kind and understanding. He took the reins and navigated through this extremely confusing and emotional process of obtaining the right assistance my mom so urgently needed, explaining everything along the way. He helped with the applications, contacted agencies on her behalf, and was always available if I needed to talk through the entire process. I felt a huge weight lifted off my shoulders. I would highly recommend Hector Pou for anyone who needs assistance/guidance for an elderly loved one.
