We are recruiting a part-time Mental Health Support Specialist to provide services in our Day Treatment for Teens Program. This program serves those who need a higher level of care than outpatient counseling. These services are being offered remotely through a secure video connection. This program helps teens struggling with aggressive or impulsive behaviors, authority defiance, relational conflicts, and high-risk behaviors. We work with teens and their families to restore emotional, social, and behavioral skills that have been impacted by mental health disorders. Teens develop coping skills to manage symptoms and related stress.

This role is approximately 25 hours per week, Monday - Friday from 12pm-4pm, with additional time for meetings and documentation. This role has the opportunity to be fully remote after training but must be within a one- to two-hour driving distance of our Appleton clinic. 

What you will be doing

Facilitating psycho-educational and process groups for clients admitted into our Day Treatment for Teens Program. You will also provide general client care and de-escalation services, case management duties, and provide support to the clinical services team.

Quality mental health delivered with integrity is the first commitment we make to our clients. An additional commitment we make is to offer the option of Christian faith principles integrated with a client’s treatment, as needed and desired by the client. Research has proven that such faith-integrated treatment is effective and has longer lasting impact. It is an approach we are committed to delivering, and we train our staff to provide it. You will work in a unique environment where both your professional skills and your faith can grow.
