At A Better Way, Inc., we are committed to supporting children, youth, and families involved in—or at risk of entering—the foster care and child welfare systems. Our programs provide trauma-informed, community-based mental health services that promote resilience, stability, and long-term well-being.

Role Summary:

Under the supervision of licensed clinicians (LCSWs and/or LMFTs), the Behavioral Health Clinical Trainee provides direct mental health services to children and youth (birth through age 21) and their families across multiple A Better Way programs. Trainees gain hands-on clinical experience, receive high-quality supervision, and develop professional competencies aligned with California BBS requirements, and best practices in community mental health including evidence-based practices (EBPs). Services may be delivered in home, school, office, community, or telehealth settings, depending on program needs and client circumstances.
