Respond with Compassion. Stabilize with Skill. Empower Youth in Crisis.
Compass Health is seeking a dedicated Crisis Clinician II to join our Child Youth Family Crisis Team (CYFCT), providing immediate behavioral health support to children, youth, and families across Whatcom and Skagit Counties. This role is ideal for clinicians who thrive in fast-paced environments, excel in crisis de-escalation, and are passionate about promoting resilience in youth through trauma-informed and recovery-oriented interventions.
About the Program
CYFCT is a mobile crisis team serving youth and families with complex behavioral health needs. Our mission is to stabilize crises in the least restrictive settings possible-homes, schools, and the community-while linking youth and families with ongoing supports and services. We work in close coordination with hospitals, schools, DSHS, outpatient providers, and other systems to support long-term wellness and reduce unnecessary inpatient or residential placements.

- Provide rapid crisis evaluations in community-based settings, including homes, hospitals, and schools.
- Deliver brief, solution-focused interventions to stabilize youth in acute behavioral health distress.
- Develop individualized safety and treatment plans in collaboration with youth and caregivers.
- Coordinate referrals to behavioral health services, natural supports, and educational resources.
- Partner with multidisciplinary systems and provide consultation to family members and other providers.
- Maintain timely, accurate documentation and meet all billing and quality standards.
- Participate in team supervision, program meetings, and ongoing training.
- MA/MS/MSW Degree in a Behavioral Science field required.
- Must meet qualifications as a Mental Health Professional (MHP) per WAC.
- Child Mental Health Specialist (CMHS) designation preferred.
- Experience working with youth and families in behavioral health or crisis settings.
- Must obtain Washington DOH Agency Affiliated Counselor status upon hire if not already credentialed.
- Valid WA driver's license, vehicle, and appropriate insurance.
- Confident in managing high-risk situations and providing trauma-informed interventions.
- Skilled in coordination across systems (schools, courts, hospitals, etc.).
- Strong commitment to family-centered care and culturally responsive practices.
- Excellent clinical judgment, problem-solving, and crisis de-escalation skills.
- Comfortable with mobile outreach and adaptable to diverse environments.
For over 110 years, Compass Health has provided comprehensive behavioral health and integrated care services across Island, San Juan, Skagit, Snohomish, and Whatcom counties.
