EMBRACE Mental Health is not your typical nonprofit/community-based organization; our team of clinicians, supervisors and management stand out as highly skilled and supportive, all experienced in clinical work and attuned to what you need to thrive as a traveling clinical case manager. Our internal Community Wellness program provides many opportunities to have fun and learn with colleagues that care deeply for one another. Our "productivity" (direct service hours) expectations are reasonable and sustainable.

EMBRACE’s Clinical Case Management Program partners with school districts to find residential programs and provide clinical oversight while students reside in placement.

As a Clinical Case Manager (CCM), you will support the school district in determining which residential treatment centers (RTCs) meet a student’s unique educational and mental health needs. You will also manage the referral process and collaborate with the school district as they make appropriate placement offers. The CCM conducts quarterly visits (both in and out-of-state) with the student and RTC team to monitor treatment, milieu, and educational goal progress, while also providing clinical support to caregivers throughout treatment. This clinical oversight, on behalf of the school district, helps to ensure appropriate fit, reasonable length of stay, and a timelier return home for students.

You would be a good fit for this position if:

• You have a passion for working with adolescents and families.
• You are able to work independently, yet are also energized by working collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams, your supervisor(s) and colleagues.
• You are looking to fill your workday with clinical conceptualization, case management tasks, collaboration with caregivers and providers, and travel both in and out-of-state.
• You have excellent problem solving, critical thinking, and communication skills.
• You are excited to work in a supportive team environment where you learn and grow every day.
• You can manage variability in your schedule each week depending on client and program needs.
• Your current schedule allows flexibility to prioritize this role.

If this sounds like you, please apply by March 15th to be considered.
