The mission of Navos is to improve the quality of life of people vulnerable to mental illness by providing a broad continuum of trauma informed care with a focus on recovery and resilience.
Residential Counselors provide direct care and supervision for children and youth with emotional & behavioral challenges in a therapeutic residential treatment environment. Successful candidates will possess an understanding of trauma-informed and family-centered care and have experience working with children and youth with complex needs. Teaming with other staff, our counselors support clients to meet treatment and behavioral goals by implementing plans that teach clients emotional regulation skills, social skills, collaborative problem solving skills, and independent living skills.
Residential counselors work directly with youth in the Children’s Long-term Inpatient Program and Behavioral Rehabilitation Services program. This is an excellent opportunity to work with kiddos experiencing mental health and behavioral challenges. BRS services younger kiddos with primarily behavioral issues and unsafe living situations that impact their ability to remain in the home. CLIP provides services to teens who are highest risk in Washington state as a result of significant mental health symptoms and meet medical criteria for involuntary commitment to treatment (danger to self, others, or gravely disabled).
Both programs serve amazing, resilient, hilarious kiddos and provide a solid training ground for social workers interested in learning more about clinical work as well as advocacy, policy, multi-systems collaboration, mental health law, and family partnership.
