Main Areas of Responsibility:
Responsible for counseling children who have directly experienced or witnessed domestic violence. The residential shelter is an ever-changing dynamic environment. This requires a trauma-informed, client-centered approach combined with patience, centeredness, flexibility, and the skills to do brief counseling and crisis interventions with families. This is not a traditional therapeutic office setting where clients attend scheduled therapy sessions.
Additional Areas of Responsibility:
Other major duties include mentoring the Child Life Skills Coordinators, facilitating Circle of Security parenting classes and providing trainings for staff.
