Part-time job: Uplift Mental Health “Navigator”

Pioneer Square Labs (PSL), a startup studio in Seattle, is seeking a part-time employee with experience in mental health, to work on a new idea (Uplift) that would help parents and children navigate the journey to better mental health.

What is the problem we are trying to solve?

As parents and teens struggle to access mental-health resources in a timely and affordable manner, there is a need to help parents plan and access high quality resources before, during, and after mental-health treatment.

What is our solution?

PSL is looking to test an on-demand service that would connect parents and teens with mental-health “navigators” that help them:

• Understand the roadmap to improving mental health
• Connect them with qualified and relevant mental health professionals
• Provide them with highly curated information on a daily and weekly basis that empowers them on their journey.

What are the responsibilities of the job?

As a “navigator” you would perform 5-10 intake calls a week to help assess customers current needs, timelines, and next steps. You would then recommend mental health professional options as well as help curate quality information and articles from around the web to distribute across the Uplift network.

Qualifications

A degree or professional experience in social work or in mental health counseling required.

There are still some spaces available in JSIS 578 – Special Topics: Congress and U.S. Foreign Policy this autumn.

This course examines the role of the U.S. Congress in shaping and driving U.S. foreign policy. Taught by a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives and a long-time House and Senate foreign affairs staffer, it explores both the statutory and political responsibilities through which elected representatives approach U.S. involvement abroad. Students will hone their skills in developing concise, compelling arguments on complex topics for both written and oral presentation. Course work will be largely driven by “mock Senate” floor debates, in which students will be required to confront notable foreign policy case studies from the perspective of their assigned roles as members of the U.S. Senate.

There are still some spaces available in JSIS 534 – Legal Foundations of World Order this autumn.

This course examines the legal foundations of world security and stability in a time of dynamic change in international relations. Some believe that international law is a charade; governments comply with it only when convenient to do so, and disregard it whenever a contrary interest appears. But legal “norms” can still have a major impact on a wide range of economic, political and security matters. Topics will include the Just War Theory, International Humanitarian Law (the Law of Armed Conflict) and its application to modern warfare, humanitarian intervention, terrorism, nuclear weapons, suicide bombers and robotic warfare, international environmental law, climate change and the Law of the Sea.
