Behavioral Case Aide ($5,000 Performance Bonsu)

The Behavioral Aide is responsible for on-site coordination of active treatment at our Valor Place (open-residential) program located in Detroit, Michigan. Youth may have behavioral challenges and may have been discharged from a psychiatric placement and/or are at risk for psychiatric hospitalization; oftentimes, the child is stepping down to a less restrictive environment. Behavior Aides work independently on assigned shifts, providing behavioral support services through mentoring, day respite, supervising parent visitation, filing, calling providers, completing paperwork, and completing all other duties assigned.
