Our proven treatment models drive long-term success in child welfare, juvenile justice, and mental health systems. At Youth Villages, we do what works — partnering with others to expand our impact and advocate for meaningful, lasting change.

We're seeking purpose-driven individuals who are passionate about making a difference.

Program Overview:

Intercept®, developed by Youth Villages, is an evidence-based intensive, in-home program that focuses on keeping families together by preventing out-of-home placements or facilitating reunification after such placements, including foster care, residential treatment facilities, hospitalization, or juvenile detention centers. It is one of the first programs to receive the well-supported designation from Title IV-E Prevention Services Clearinghouse developed in accordance with the Family First Prevention Services Act (FFPSA) having been shown to reduce out-of-home placements and accelerate permanency for children.

This program serves youth from birth to age 18 who are facing serious emotional or behavioral challenges or have experienced trauma, such as abuse or neglect. Services are provided by highly trained Family Intervention Specialists directly in the family’s home and community–Intercept® is not an office-based program.

Intercept provides intensive, strength-based support tailored to each family’s unique needs, ultimately helping them achieve lasting change through evidence-based mental health interventions, along with the development of new parenting and communication skills.

Provides on-call crisis support to the youth and family (schedules vary by location)
Completes accurate and timely documentation in an electronic medical record system (EMR)

Additional Information:

Schedule is flexible and non-traditional as it is based around the availability of youth and families served.
Applicants must possess a current, valid driver’s license, an automobile for work purposes, and proof of auto insurance.
Community-based staff will be reimbursed for applicable mileage.

Salary:

$48,000 - $55,000 / year based on education and clinical experience

Qualifications:

Master’s degree in a social services discipline (preferred)
Bachelor's degree in a social services discipline (required)
- Degrees that can be considered include: social work, drug and alcohol education or counseling, psychology, criminal justice, guidance counseling, or marriage and family therapy (others subject to review)
Experience working with at-risk youth and/or families in a volunteer, internship, or paid position (preferred)
Clinical experience (preferred)
Strong organizational skills and attention to detail
Excellent written, verbal, and oral skills
Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
Basic computer knowledge
