Seeking Behavioral Health Clinician for the Community Assessment Program
The Juvenile Assessment Center (JAC) is a nonprofit organization contributing to the safety of youth, families, and the communities of Arapahoe, Douglas, Elbert and Lincoln counties through early intervention, comprehensive assessment and improved access to appropriate services. The JAC’s Community Assessment Program (CAP) provides sustainable community and family connections as an intervention for school-aged youth exhibiting concerning behavior. CAP Behavioral Health Clinicians work with multiple partners to identify root causes of behavior in youth and serve, in collaboration with professionals, as a guide to connect families to effective community-based services. We believe prevention is possible at any level for clients.
As a Behavioral Health Clinician, you will complete bio psycho social assessments to identify concerning behaviors and their underlying factors. In conjunction with the assessment, there are multiple mental health, substance use, and trauma screenings to inform your recommendation of supportive services or resources to address identified concerns. You will prepare a summary of youth and parent concerns, screening and assessment results, and recommendations for the referring professional. Behavioral Health Clinicians assist in coordination of care for youth involved in the juvenile justice and/or human service systems, as well as community/prevention interventions and school systems. Our assessment process is a comprehensive brief intervention with required background knowledge for psychoeducation and validation.
In addition to conducting early intervention assessments, you will provide professionals with information regarding behavioral health issues and resources available in their community. Clinicians are available for consult and navigation for families and professionals. We work in collaboration with professionals to develop strategies and meet the needs of students and families in their environment. As a clinician, you will represent the JAC at resource fairs, parent coffees, parent/teacher conferences, community meetings, family meetings, and other identified community events. These events may be outside of regular business hours.
We are a flexible, dynamic, and well-versed team with a strong emphasis on self-care for ourselves and each other. This position requires you to be a reliable teammate, with open communication and support for each other.
