Mental Health Clinical Intake Coordinator

Description

We know that the best place for children to thrive and grow is in a stable home with their families. Often, youth and their families need additional supports to make home a safe place for a child that is struggling with their mental and behavioral health.

Safe at Home is a team of therapists who work intensively with a child and his or her family in their home for a period of 3 weeks or 3 months.

The Safe at Home team provides intensive in-home services as an alternative to placing a child in a hospital, foster care, or a residential program.
