About The Position
For over 35 years, Youth Villages has transformed the lives of children and families nationwide through innovative, research-based programs focused on preserving and restoring families. As a national leader in children’s mental and behavioral health, Youth Villages serves more than 47,000 youth, young people, and their families annually across 29 states and Washington, D.C. Their proven treatment models drive long-term success in child welfare, juvenile justice, and mental health systems. Youth Villages is committed to investing in and supporting its more than 5,000 employees by offering opportunities for professional growth, personal development, and a mission to help children and families live successfully. Youth Villages' residential programs in Tennessee and Georgia provide safe, nurturing environments for youth ages 6 to 17 with complex behavioral and mental health challenges. These programs are offered across three types of facilities—secure facilities, open campuses, and group homes—each designed to meet the individual needs of youth exhibiting a range of referral behaviors, including aggression, self-harm, suicidal ideations, and problem sexual behavior. The residential campuses deliver an intensive treatment program that balances structure and freedom, preparing youth for success outside of a residential setting. A key focus is to help youth step down to the least restrictive treatment option possible by developing skills through trauma-informed care, clinical interventions, life skills building, and recreation therapy (in select locations). Most youth also attend fully accredited schools located on the campuses.
