CCS’s priority for this round of hiring is improving and expanding our services to Black/Indigenous/People of Color (BIPOC) youth. CCS recognizes that as a site made up primarily of staff from the dominant culture/race, we are limited in our ability to effectively serve our BIPOC youth, who are over-represented in mental health services. We know that we need to increase the diversity of our staff by recruiting those who live and/or work from a non-dominant racial lens, and we are actively seeking to build a diverse team to challenge traditional thinking in Behavioral Health service provision.CCS OverviewWe are a values-driven organization, providing family oriented mental health care for children and families in their own home and community. Our enthusiastic clinical teams provide whatever is needed to help children and youth remain safely in their own home with their family, restoring hope, providing intense mental health services and supports, and helping to strengthen the family unity.Position ResponsibilitiesThe Family Support Specialist is responsible for providing and implementing prescribed mental health treatment strategies, crisis response and de-escalation as needed, as well as Crisis Plan implementation.
