The CAP Mental Health Social Practitioner works to help the members of the apartment program live their lives to the fullest and develop independent living skills and social connections.

We want our members to have dignified homes and to feel comfortable in their apartment and to connect with the neighborhood. This position requires interest in community, creativity, and flexibility. There will be no typical day in CAP, but if you could see yourself fostering relationships and connections to community for adults with mental illness by cooking group dinners, taking a group to the movies, assisting someone to learn how to do their laundry at the local laundromat, advocating at a social service provider, or helping one of your members to apply to a job in the community then this could be the position for you.The CAP Mental Health Social Practitioner will be based at our clubhouse in Hell's Kitchen and in the field at our scattered site apartments.
