About The Position

The Clinical Supervisor is responsible for supervising peer support staff and a team of therapists who provide clinical services to children, adolescents, families, and adults. This position also provides evidence based clinical services to consumers. CHRIS 180 services are rooted in trauma informed care, which is directed by an understanding of the neurological, biological, psychological, and social effects of trauma. This approach involves assessing consumers to understand if trauma occurred and its role in their behavioral health needs. Trauma can include sexual, physical, or emotional abuse, severe neglect, loss, witnessing violence, substance abuse, having an imprisoned family member, and abandonment. Understanding when trauma occurred helps tailor responses, treatment, and services. Trauma-informed assessments and interventions always acknowledge, respect, and integrate cultural values, beliefs, and practices.
