Chicago, United States Lawrence Hall Full time

WHO WE ARE:

Annually serving over 1,400 youth and families, Lawrence Hall is a community-based organization committed to helping Chicago's youth, families, and communities heal from the adverse effects of childhood trauma. For more than 150 years, Lawrence Hall has been delivering high-quality care throughout the Chicago metropolitan area and is a statewide leader in highly effective, evidence-based, and innovative therapeutic treatment. Their core programs-Child and Family Treatment Center, Therapeutic Day School, Creative Therapies, Foster Care, Transitional/Independent Living Program, Workforce Development, and Community Wellness-have met the changing and complex needs of youth and families by not only becoming more community based, but also by developing more preventative programs that help curb violence in Chicago's communities.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS:

Under the direct supervision of the Clinical Services Manager or designated supervisor; the Community Based Therapist carries a caseload of young people, which include community based referrals aged 14-26 years old. Clients are typically referred into services due to involvement with Cook County Juvenile and/or Adult Probation, Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice, local schools, and community based organizations. Young people are eligible for services based on a number of criteria that may include homelessness, justice system involvement, disconnection from school or work, or a current status of low income. The therapist is responsible for providing assigned caseload with individual and group therapy services. Treatment is trauma-focused, with common clinical concerns including treatment of trauma symptoms, attachment issues, anxiety, depression, substance abuse, reluctance/resistance to treatment, and a variety of other presenting problems. The therapist may need to be certified in providing different therapies, for example Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), as a specific treatment modality may be indicated by a provider of grant funding. Services will be focused on individual treatment goals related to designated program. Lawrence Hall fosters a culture built upon four core values: Respect, Empowerment, Safety, and Teamwork. These values are deeply embedded within our organization's philosophy of trauma-informed care and directly influence every position.
