Job Description

PROGRAM SUMMARY

HFW provides a comprehensive, holistic, evidence-based, child/youth and family-driven process for responding when children and youth experience significant mental health or behavioral challenges, including children and youth involved in multiple child/youth serving systems.

The HFW model combines a team-based case management and facilitation approach with individualized and community-based mental health services and supports tailored to meet the individualized needs of the child/youth and family.

The Clinical Supervisor ensures the clinical integrity of the services provided to youth and families, while supporting staff development and high fidelity system alignment.
