About Family Support Center of Ogden

Family Support Center of Ogden is a nonprofit organization dedicated to strengthening families and preventing child abuse through education, supportive services, and community partnerships. For more than 45 years, we have worked to help children and families thrive by providing resources, crisis support, parenting education, and family-centered services throughout Northern Utah.

We believe that strong families build strong communities, and we are working to expand our services to include additional mental health and therapeutic support for the families we serve.

Position Overview

Are you a licensed therapist who is passionate about helping families, strengthening communities, and creating access to mental health services? Do you enjoy sharing your expertise, collaborating with community partners, and building something meaningful beyond a traditional clinical practice?

Family Support Center of Ogden is seeking a motivated, compassionate, and entrepreneurial therapist to help us develop and grow a therapy program within our nonprofit organization.

This position offers an opportunity to combine clinical expertise with program development, community education, advocacy, and collaboration. The ideal candidate will be excited to help shape a developing program, establish community connections, participate in panel discussions and public presentations, and help FSCO expand its impact on children and families.

• Develop and deliver educational workshops for parents, caregivers, staff, and community partners.
• Build relationships with local therapists, healthcare providers, schools, social service agencies, and other organizations.
• Help increase awareness of FSCO's services and the importance of accessible mental health care for families.

Collaboration and Program Growth

• Work closely with FSCO leadership and program staff to identify opportunities to better support families.
• Help establish referral relationships and collaborative service opportunities.

• Interest in program development, community outreach, and expanding access to mental health services.

What Makes This Opportunity Unique?

This is an opportunity to help build something meaningful.
