Job description

Description:

Therapeutic Mentoring (TM) offers structured, one-to-one, strength-based support services between a therapeutic mentor and a youth to address daily living, social, and communication needs. The mentor works with a clinical therapist to explore a youth’s interests and abilities and creates activities that build various life skills and link them to community activities.

We encourage individuals who believe they have the skills necessary to thrive to apply for this role, even if they don't meet 100% of the job requirements.

  • After-school and weekend hours required
  • Clearly communicate and consistently meet with family and natural supports
  • Teach youth conflict resolution, impulse regulation, and positive coping skills
  • Strength-based support for social skills and self-esteem building in the community (Library, YMCA, Volunteer facilities, Parks, etc.)
  • Weekly consult directly with a master’s level clinician to provide strengths-based and trauma-informed interventions
  • Assess needs and implement collaborative goal-directed lesson plans
  • Required monthly mandatory staff meetings and weekly clinical supervision with licensed (LICSW/LMHC/LP) supervisors

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor's or Associate's degree in the human service field and 12 months total experience working with children/adolescents/transition-age youth
  • High school diploma or equivalent with a minimum of 24 months total experience working with children/adolescents/transition youth
