Company Overview:

Youth Villages is a national leader in the adoption and implementation of research-based treatment philosophies in the field of children's mental and behavioral health. Our commitment to helping troubled children and their families find success spans 20 years and includes a comprehensive array of programs and services.

Program Overview:

In North Carolina, Youth Villages provides Multisystemic Therapy (MST), which has demonstrated to be successful in helping youth ages 12 to 17 who display serious antisocial behaviors and are at-risk of placement out of the home due to their behaviors. Our MST program is built on the principle that the serious behavior problems of a child typically stem from a combination of influences including family factors, deviant peer group, problems in school or the community, and individual characteristics. The MST model calls for simultaneously addressing all of those inter-related areas.

Position Overview:

· Holistic Approach: Provide empirically-based treatment to the entire family, rather than just the identified youth. Work with the family hands-on to build trust and align them with treatment.

· Small Caseloads: Work with four-five families at a time to give clients the attention they deserve.

· Intensive services: Meet with families at least three times weekly and maintain on-call availability 24/7 M-F with a rotating weekend schedule.

· Intensive but flexible schedule: Deliver services in the family's home or wherever they need us (school, court, etc.) and schedule sessions around families’ needs.

· Individualized Treatment: Design treatment to meet each individual family's needs; ongoing assessment and review of treatment progress assures individualized service

· Time-limited service: Treatment usually lasts three to six months

· High Levels of Support and Supervision: Work closely with multiple types of clinical supervision provided in individual and group settings, led by trained and licensed MST professionals
