Nature of Work

The Part-time/Flex Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Clinician will provide direct patient care to children, adolescents, and their families at the new Children's Hospital Colorado Telstar location. This includes diagnostic, assessment, treatment, and discharge planning for youth with a variety of mental health concerns including (but not limited to): depression, anxiety, emotional distress and difficulty regulating emotions, self-harm, suicidality, post-traumatic stress, difficulty communicating with others, and other behavioral challenges. The Part-time/Flex Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Clinician will have the opportunity to provide services in both the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) and outpatient programming.

The Partial Hospitalization Program provides evaluation and intensive mental health treatment for youth who experience serious mental and behavioral health challenges that prevent them from functioning optimally at school, at home, and in the community. These children and adolescents experience distress that exceeds the capacity of traditional outpatient services but can remain safe in a community setting as well as individuals stepping down from higher levels of psychiatric treatment including inpatient hospitalization. Youth attend the program daily from 8:30 am to 2:30 pm for approximately two weeks (dependent on the individual treatment needs of patients and their families). The primary treatment modality is group therapy and the curriculum has been derived from the transdiagnostic approach. Patients also receive individual and family therapy and medication evaluation and management. Another component of the program is family involvement: parents participate in psychoeducation groups as well as daily check-ins. The Part-time/Flex Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Clinician could be responsible for a variety of clinical tasks including (but not limited to): completing intake assessments that are used to determine a referred patient's eligibility for this level of care, facilitating regular family sessions, and for assessing and managing immediate patient safety concerns to determine if a higher level of care may be warranted or if a patient is safe to return home.

The outpatient program provides evaluation and mental health treatment for children and adolescents who experience mental and behavioral health challenges but can function and remain safe at home, at school, and in their community. Youth treated in outpatient settings typically attend individual or family therapy once weekly. They may also receive medication evaluation and management from another provider in the clinic such as a Psychiatrist or Advanced Practice Nurse. The Part-time/Flex Child and Adolescent Behavioral Health Clinician would be responsible for developing and implementing an individualized, family-centered, trauma-informed, evidence-based treatment plan for the patients and families in their care and/or for providing temporary clinical services to patients and families under the care of other clinicians.
