Our Crisis Center is seeking a full-time Overnight Crisis Counselor to work at our Green Bay location. Team members work a 2-2-3 rotation, enjoying every other three day weekend off! The Crisis Center provides responsive and professional crisis counseling services on a 24 hour basis to all residents of Brown County. The intent of the Crisis Center's services is to provide short-term and responsive crisis intervention services to individuals in crisis situations. The Crisis Counselor works to resolve the immediate emotional impact of the client's crisis situation. The Crisis Counselor may assist the client in activating their problem solving skills and developing some additional coping strategies to resolve his/her conflicts.

The Crisis Center attempts to form appropriate links between the immediate service needs of an individual in crisis and those community agencies that can serve their needs.
