Summary :
The Children’s Health Initiative is looking for an experienced child and adolescent clinician to join our grant-funded interdisciplinary SafetyNet team at CHA. We are studying the cost-effectiveness of intervening earlier to support youth and families struggling with barriers to accessing mental health care, particularly in situations involving childhood trauma. Our innovative approach combines pediatric integrated care delivery in primary care clinics, with key elements of systems-of-care, including: strength-based, multidisciplinary team assessments, individualized community-based care plans, and youth and family voice.

Key Responsibilities:
Able to function as a team leader, triaging needs and managing resources
Works side by side with the Family Support Specialist - a peer to peer parent with lived experience parenting a child with mental health needs
Able to communicate effectively with the consulting CHA child psychiatrist and with both internal (CHA) and external providers, schools and system partners
Accessible onsite in primary care for “warm-handoffs” or curbside consults
Key contact for PCPs; collaborates with primary care clinicians to prioritize new referrals and coordinate ongoing care
Participates in shared “real time” child mental health assessment and follow-up visits with the child psychiatrist and the FSS
Along with monitoring implementation of recommended interventions, the CCM routinely contacts the youth and parent to “check in” on evolving needs, and, with the whole SN team, helps the PCP “hold” the case while the family and youth get connected to sustainable resource
Minimum Requirements: Master's level clinician; LICSW preferred
At least 3 years experience as a child and adolescent mental health clinician, post-training
Familiar with both care delivery in outpatient medical settings, and in community based systems of care for children
