• Review and approve care plans, treatment plans, safety protocols, Plan for Extra Help protocols, and suicide protocols to ensure youth needs and safety are addressed.
• Monitor clinical documentation, treatment progress, weekly summaries, and dosage information.
• Provide clinical coverage when needed, including individual sessions, groups, and behavioral support.
• Facilitate or support Making Proud Choices and Healthy Youth Grant groups and collaborate with QA/QI staff to meet grant requirements.

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success means that youth are receiving effective, individualized, and therapeutic care; families are meaningfully engaged; clinicians feel supported and accountable; documentation and regulatory requirements are met; and the program consistently delivers services with quality and fidelity.

You will be an important clinical leader who helps connect youth needs, family engagement, staff development, quality care, and program compliance—while making a meaningful difference in the lives of young people.
