About Positive Growth Inc.

About the Early Intervention Psychosis Program (EIPP)

The Early Intervention Psychosis Program (EIPP) is a grant-funded Coordinated Specialty Care program supported by the Georgia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (DBHDD). The program serves young adults ages 16–30 in the Metro Atlanta area who have experienced their first episode of psychosis within the past two years.

Position Overview

Using evidence-based supported employment and education practices, this role helps individuals successfully pursue school, training, and competitive employment aligned with their strengths and interests.

This is a highly community-based position that requires frequent interaction with clients, families, employers, and educational institutions. Most work takes place in the field rather than in the office.

Collaboration & Care Coordination

Work closely with psychiatrists, therapists, case managers, and peer specialists to support holistic care

Support integration of education/employment goals into overall treatment planning

Community Engagement & Partnership Development

Build relationships with local employers, colleges, training programs, and community organizations
Develop job opportunities, internships, and placement pathways for clients
Participate in outreach events and community education efforts

Documentation & Reporting

Maintain accurate and timely documentation in Electronic Health Records (EHR)
Track client progress, employment outcomes, and program metrics
Prepare reports to support program evaluation and grant requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Social Work, Psychology, Counseling, or a related field
At least 2 years of experience in mental health, preferably with individuals experiencing serious mental illness or psychosis
Strong interpersonal, communication, and collaboration skills

Preferred Qualifications

Experience in supported employment, supported education, vocational services, or case management
Experience working with early psychosis or Coordinated Specialty Care programs
Knowledge of evidence-based practices in early intervention and recovery-oriented care
Familiarity with community resources, educational systems, and workforce development programs
Established connections with local employers or educational institutions

Additional Requirements

Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation (community-based role)
Ability to pass background and DMV checks
Proficiency with Electronic Health Records (EHR) and Microsoft Office
Ability to work with diverse populations in a culturally responsive manner
Bilingual or multilingual skills are a plus

Professional Competencies

Empathy, patience, and a non-judgmental approach
Strong organizational and time management skills
Ability to build relationships while maintaining professional boundaries
Flexibility and adaptability in a fast-paced, team-based environment

Work Environment

This position is primarily community-based and requires travel throughout the Metro Atlanta area. Duties may include visiting client homes, schools, job sites, and community agencies.
