Build Something Bigger — And Change Lives, Including Your Own.
In 1935, Louise Whitbeck Fraser opened a school in her home for people with disabilities — defying social expectations and choosing compassion over convention.
She believed everyone deserves the chance to reach their potential and thrive.
Today, that same bold spirit is alive in every Fraser service.
We’re still building something bigger — a more inclusive, connected world where everyone belongs.
At Fraser, you’ll find more than a job.
You’ll find purpose.
You’ll find growth.
And you’ll find a place where your work changes lives — including your own.
As a Mental Health Technician, you'll work in Fraser's early childhood day treatment program, supporting preschool-aged children with mental health diagnoses. This is an excellent entry-level clinical position that provides hands-on experience working with children. It may also fulfill internship requirements for undergraduate programs.
