Become a part of our team that makes a difference in people’s lives! Our agency is actively looking for a full-time Mental Health Professional or Clinical Trainee in our Youth & Family program with an emphasis on working with our birth to six population.

This early childhood mental health program serves families with children from birth to age six in Polk, Red Lake, Kittson, Marshall, Mahnomen, and Norman counties that have social, emotional, or behavioral developmental needs. They may have been exposed to traumatic events, and/or are experiencing environmental stressors. The program offers intensive therapy services to the caregivers and in a caregiver environment.

• Therapy designed to strengthen the parent-child relationship while supporting children’s functioning across all areas of development.
• Caregivers are an essential part of the therapy process for change and healing and are always an integral part of the therapy sessions with the child.
• Families bring their culture and life experiences along with their knowledge of caring for the child, as they partner with a therapist to develop a better understanding of their child’s needs.
• Families learn to play together, build trust and establish the adult as a supportive resource for the child’s worries and struggles as they learn and grow.
