Family Based Mental Health Worker

Mental Health Worker

Job Description:

CGRC's Family Based Services is a 32-week process. Families are assigned a team of clinicians who work closely with clients in the home, school, and community to address not only the child's emotional struggles but also the larger systemic issues contributing to troublesome behavior. The flexibility of being in the home and the community allows therapists to address the root of the struggles and create long-term positive change. Without the limits of an office, the therapeutic possibilities multiply!

As part of a therapeutic team, the Mental Health Worker provides a continuum of services, including intensive case management, system advocacy, information/referral, therapy (individual to child or adult, family, and couples), and crisis intervention/stabilization. Therapeutic expectations will be fully engaged once the MHW completes competency assessment with their supervisor.

If you're looking for the opportunity to share and expand your competencies using a variety of clinical-based interventions, CGRC's Family Based Services program is for you. Therapists use a variety of clinically based interventions such as talk, play, art, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other strategies to help you and your child reach the agreed-upon treatment plan goals.

Responsibilities:

• Utilize assessments to develop effective and timely treatment focus with each client family. Provide family therapy, parent sessions and individual child/adult sessions and incorporate them into case conceptualization and treatment planning after competency assessment is completed with supervisor.
• Facilitate CASSP/Interagency Team meetings in order to coordinate service interventions and understand family's relationships to community system.
• Monitor service provision through intensive case management to ensure receipt of quality and appropriate services and interventions.
• Effectively utilize supervision by preparing agenda, presenting clinical material professionally and incorporating feedback into ongoing work.
