Behavioral Health Treatment Foster Care (On-Site)
About the Position:
This position, also known as the Clinical Team Lead, coordinates all aspects of behavioral health treatment for approximately 6-9 youth. Youth are referred to our program from Oregon DHS child welfare and Oregon Youth Authority and present with a range of behavioral and mental health needs. At OCP, we address the needs of the whole youth and work collaboratively with a variety of partners to ensure long-term stability.
Our youth reside in a treatment foster home with specially trained volunteer foster parents. Their range of behavioral health needs are addressed within the treatment program and across settings, including individual therapy, skills training, case management, service coordination, access to prosocial activities that align with their identities, and family therapy focused on longer term positive family relationships.
The foster parents participate in ongoing support services focused on coaching and training to maximize youth success. The Clinical Team Lead works closely with the foster parents to support this effort. You will receive training and coaching in the Treatment Foster Care Oregon service delivery model and maintain certification once obtained.
