About the Role

The Community-Based Counselor provides family-centered mental health counseling, support, crisis intervention, and care coordination services for youth and their families.

About the Program

Through a collaborative team approach, the Wraparound Program works alongside youth, families, and community supports to build on existing strengths, address unmet needs, and promote long-term stability and success in the home, school, and community.
