Position Summary:The Project Coordinator is responsible for all aspects of developing and implementing an innovative Puyallup Juvenile Healing to Wellness Program (JHW). The Project Coordinator will work directly with internal tribal agencies on an ongoing basis to create and enhance the JHW program and policies for service delivery, in an effort to increase public safety and community wellness.
JHW will be a new program designed for youth in early contact with the justice system and/or at risk of being arrested for low-level non-violent violations due to behavioral health and substance abuse issues, including opioid misuse. Participants will engage with community-based case management and wellness resources. The Project Coordinator will work under the direction of the Wrap Around Department Director (or designee) to cooperatively develop and implement case plans that promote sobriety and positive mental health;
and reduce the number of youth adjudicated in the general court system, including enhanced diversion activities. The JHW system development will integrate effectively with similar emerging services. The Coordinator will engage closely with cultural practices such as GONA and Healing of the Canoes to reduce harm to the individual and the community. A team approach will be utilized and may include judges, attorneys, probation, law enforcement, treatment providers, educational and vocational services, and other partners.
In addition, the Coordinator will engage directly with tribal elders, traditional healers, and other culturally-appropriate resources to promote participants' healing and reintegration into the tribal community.
With direction and support from key tribal entities, over an approximate five-year grant period, develop and policies, procedures, protocols and systems required to implement a Puyallup Juvenile Healing to Wellness Program. As the JHW services are developed, the Coordinator will effectively integrate them with related tribal entities and service provision. The outcome at the conclusion of the five-year grant period will be a fully functioning JHW grounded in Coast Salish cultural healing and JHW evidence based "best practices".
Development and implementation responsibilities include the following and other related duties as assigned:
