• Provide tailored treatment, which may involve working with the individual, their entire family, or a specific group dynamic to implement focused, evidence‑based interventions aimed at achieving therapeutic goals or improving ineffective interaction patterns.
• Offer individual and group therapies as needed, in accordance with site and program requirements, and as directed by a supervisor.
• Lead discussions on treatment planning that include input from all treatment team members, family members, agency workers, and the individual. Monitor the progress of the individual in achieving their goals and objectives, while assisting with access to community resources.
• At the individual’s request, and if supported by the program for site‑specific roles, accompany families to meetings regarding the individual’s behavioral health treatment needs in schools, daycare, foster homes, and other community locations.
