This involves creating individualized treatment plans, conducting skill-building sessions and family therapy, offering crisis intervention when necessary, and collaborating with community resources to provide comprehensive support. Additionally, the WISe therapist actively contributes to program evaluation, staff training, and ongoing quality improvement efforts to optimize the delivery of WISe services.
Our program adopts an innovative and collaborative approach to mental health services. We prioritize fostering an environment of compassion, understanding, and support for our clients. The ideal candidate is a passionate mental health therapist possessing excellent communication skills and empathy while demonstrating adaptability and a commitment to continuous learning and cultural sensitivity for children with serious and persistent mental health diagnoses.
