Every Mind is hiring a Bilingual Therapeutic Mentor to join the Linkages to Learning team in the School-Based Services department. This role supports 2-4 school communicaties across mid-montgomery county. Therapeutic Mentors will join a behavioral health team composed of Care Managers, Mental Health Therapists, fellow Therapeutic Mentors, and school partners.

This includes supporting, coaching, and training children and youth in age-appropriate behaviors including interpersonal communication, problem-solving, social engagement, self-esteem, conflict resolution, and relating appropriately with youth and adults.

The Therapeutic Mentor develops a behavioral health treatment plan with the family and youth where possible. This plan helps to ensure the youth’s success in navigating various social situations, learning new skills, and making functional progress while the therapeutic mentor offers supervision of interactions and engages the youth in discussions about strategies for their effective use.

This position offers a unique opportunity to make an impact in the lives of children, and families across multiple school communities in mid-Montgomery County. Rather than serving a single location, you'll have the opportunity to build relationships with students, educators, and families in 2 to 4 schools, depending on community needs, allowing you to broaden your reach and experience a variety of school environments.
