Company Overview:
Youth Villages has been a national leader in the adoption and implementation of research-based treatment philosophies in the field of children's mental and behavioral health. Our commitment to helping troubled children and their families find success spans 20 years and includes a comprehensive array of programs and services.
FOSTER CARE COUNSELOR:
Program Overview:
Our Foster Care program works with the foster care children to talk about their referral issues and to discuss why they are in foster care. This counselor also serves as a liaison between the child and the court and is always an advocate for the best needs of the child! The Youth Villages Foster Care Program uses intensive in-home based treatment where interventions are parent focused bringing change through the family, school, community, and peer groups.
Position Overview:
• Holistic Approach Counselors provide services to the entire family, rather than just the identified youth. Counselors work with the family hands-on to build trust and align them with treatment.
• Small Caseloads Counselors are responsible for around 10 families.
• Intensive but flexible schedule Counselors deliver services in the family's home or wherever they need us (school, court, etc.) and flexibly schedule sessions to meet the family's needs.
• Individualized Treatment Counselors design services to meet each child’s needs; ongoing assessment and review of treatment progress assures individualized service
• High Levels of Support and Supervision Counselors meet with supervisors at least three times per week to discuss progress and personal development. Our leadership is always available for backup in difficult situations. All counselors complete a thorough training schedule designed to maximize clinical skill.
FAMILY COUNSELOR:
Program Overview:
Our Intercept program serves a broad population of youth, including those involved with multiple child-serving systems and those at high risk of removal from their families. The program specializes in diverting youth from out of home placements by helping their families safely maintain youth in their home environment. Intercept also focuses on reunification of youth who are in a residential treatment or foster home setting.
Position Overview:

• Small Caseloads: Work with four to six families at a time to give clients the attention they deserve.
• Intensive services: Meet with families at least three times weekly and are on call 24/7 M-F with a rotating weekend on-call schedule.
• Intensive but flexible schedule: Deliver services in the family's home or wherever they need us (school, court, etc.) and schedule sessions around families’ needs.
• Individualized Treatment: Design treatment to meet each individual family's needs; ongoing assessment and review of treatment progress assures individualized service
• Time-limited service: Treatment usually lasts three to six months
