Job Description:
Overview
Children in our community are hurting. This is not a new
observation. It was true prior to the pandemic, with significant
percentages of children in the Lancaster Community reporting poor
mental health days and documented behavioral challenges. In the
midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the difficulties facing children
and families did not go away. Rather the needs and the challenges
facing kids and their families increased, intensified, and became
even more complex. Our children are struggling. Our families are
hurting. The path forward is not to be found in a traditional
approach to children's behavioral health. We cannot hope to "fix"
the child and ignore the world around them. Sometimes a lasting and
promising path forward is hard to see. Collectively we often settle
for a quick fix and temporary relief from our pain, disappointment,
and frustrations. As children's behavioral and mental health
professionals, we mistakenly embrace the idea that working with a
child in isolation can "fix" the problem. In reality, this single
focused approach often creates a troubling and infuriating pattern
for the children and families we serve, and a frustrating work
experience for Mental Health Therapists and professionals who
strive to help children thrive. At CHI St. Joseph Children's
Health, we do not believe that children's behavioral and mental
health services have to exist in this way. We believe that
children's behavioral health, and our ability to unleash the
brilliant potential of the children we serve, requires us
recognizing, working with, and strengthening the individuals,
family, and systems with whom the child engages. We do this while
also helping the child gain the skills necessary to fully engage
life and the world around them. As part of our treatment
philosophy, our therapists work with teams of professionals, both
within CHI St. Joseph Children's Health and throughout the
community, as well as with the individuals most important to the
children we serve. We embrace this comprehensive family-focused
approach because we believe that through such collaboration
together anything, and everything, is possible. CHI St. Joseph
Children's Health is currently seeking qualified candidates for
Therapist positions in our behavioral health program.Imagine the
possibilities of you joining a team of health professionals and a
nation-wide health system truly dedicated to improving the lives of
children and families. That's our purpose every day, and the
purpose of every service and program we offer. The ideal
LCSW/LPC/LMFT candidate will bring both strong clinical background
and knowledge, extensive experience working with families, and an
innovative spirit to help grow our program, all while having a keen
understanding of the unique and complex needs of today's families.
