Job Description

THIS IS A PART TIME POSITION AND THE SELECTED CANDIDATE WILL BE OFFERED A SALARY OF $105.59 AN HOUR.

The Administration for Children's Services (ACS) protects and promotes the safety and well-being of New York City's children and families by providing child welfare, juvenile justice, and early care services. In child welfare, ACS contracts with private nonprofit organizations to support and stabilize families at risk of a crisis through preventive services and provides foster care services for children not able to safely remain at home. Each year, the agency's Division of Child Protection responds to more than 50,000 reports of suspected child abuse or neglect. In juvenile justice, ACS manages and funds services including detention and placement, intensive community-based alternatives for youth, and support services for families. ACS is also a key part of NYCs early childhood and education continuum, providing child care assistance to thousands of child welfare involved and low-income children so they can access safe, affordable, quality care.

The Psychiatry and Behavioral Health Unit (PBHU) within the Office of Child and Family Health (OCFH) is responsible for promoting best Mental Health practice principles to guide decision-making, program and policy development, and development of resources to ensure that children known to ACS are receiving the best possible care to address psychiatric and behavioral health conditions.

The Unit works to ensure that psychiatric medications are used and monitored appropriately.

- Collect data, develop reports and recommend database modifications related to completing required reports on the psychotropic medication use, prescription, and consent approvals and
reviews for any and all children and youth under the care and custody of the ACS Commissioner.
- Develop and update audit and monitoring tools for assessing agency consent procedures for psychiatric medications.
- Provide case-specific consultation for issues involving management of psychiatric illnesses for children under the care and custody of the ACS Commissioner.
- Participate in a behavioral research review committee that will evaluate and approve mental-health related studies in which children and youth in foster care will be invited to enroll.
- Work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders and represent OCFH on issues surrounding pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatment of psychiatric diagnoses for

- Develop and update ACS practices, policies and procedures related to mental health and behavioral health.
- Provide guidance and training to all ACS staff on topics related to mental health and behavioral health.
