This position offers an exciting opportunity to make a lasting difference in the lives of children, adolescents (ages 5–18), and transition-age youth (ages 16–25) through a new, grant-funded initiative. The TAY program serves youth with serious mental illness and high utilization of emergency and inpatient psychiatric services.

This is a Monday to Friday position with no weekend hours or call, offering excellent work-life balance in a mission-driven setting.
