Who We Are Looking For

Are you the Family-Based Intensive Treatment (FIT) Clinician we’ve been searching for? In this position, you will be conveying your passion for helping others as part of a small, dedicated team (inclusive of a FIT Clinician and a Family Partner) working with youth and families!

Family-Based Intensive Treatment (FIT) is a new service within JRI's Community Service Agencies that provides a combination of medically necessary intensive family therapy, robust care coordination, and Family Partner engagement for eligible youth with serious emotional disturbance (SED) and their families. You will focus on improving the youth’s mental health concerns, while strengthening the family structure and support.

JRI Provides The Training So That

• You will provide intensive family therapy, crisis intervention, treatment planning, and assessments.

• You will use your skills to develop a structured, consistent, strength-based therapeutic relationship with the youth and families you work with in order to help improve the youth’s behavioral health needs, including improving the family’s ability to provide effective support for the youth to promote their healthy functioning within the family.
• You will use your passion to provide culturally competent, trauma-informed, confidential clinical services to guide care for the youth at the center of your care.
• You will provide consultation to collaterals including schools and medical service providers to help the youth you serve navigate their lives with more support.
