JOB SUMMARY: Sycamores provides a spectrum of equitable mental health services through various programs to multicultural populations of all acuities. Although it serves a variety of consumers, the agency focuses primarily on providing care to low-income, high-at- risk youth.

The role of the Community Wellness Specialist is to provide interventions that develop coping and problem-solving skills to promote safety and attachment and teach transference of those skills into the home, school, and community. These interventions are provided to maintain youth at home or to transition youth to home and are developed within the child and family team process. Additionally, this is a position that is focused on wellness and building resilience through interventions, linkages, and referrals to appropriate community resources.
