About The Position
This is a crisis group home that provides short-term, intensive support for children, teens, or adults experiencing emotional, behavioral, or mental health crises. The primary goal is to help each individual stabilize in a safe, structured environment so they can successfully transition back home or to the most appropriate long-term setting with a comprehensive support plan in place. The individuals supported in this home often have complex behavioral needs and may experience periods of emotional dysregulation.
