About The Position

As an FCT Practitioner in the Family-Centered Treatment (FCT) department, you will work with children and teens who have acute mental health or behavioral challenges. A typical day as an FCT Practitioner will include meetings with families, discussing cases with residential FCT practitioners, and completing documentation. There is an on-call rotation for after-hours, weekends, and holidays. There will be a virtual team meeting on Monday afternoon and one hour of virtual individual supervision during the week. A one-hour skills lab occurs virtually on Fridays. Otherwise, you create your schedule based on the family’s availability.
