Position Summary
The Youth Prevention Specialist is responsible for developing and implementing programs that promote youth mental wellness and prevent substance use across Clay, Platte, and Ray Counties in Missouri. The position includes delivering education to both youth and adults, reducing risk factors related to youth mental health and substance use, and building strong partnerships and collaborations to support youth well-being. The role also involves developing school and community wellness campaigns and coordinating prevention initiatives that foster resilience and protective factors among youth.

Build collaborative relationships that work to reduce risk factors and build protective factors related to youth wellness.

Develop and deliver engaging and persuasive presentations to youth and adults on mental wellness, substance use prevention, coping skills, and resilience.

Oversee administrative responsibilities related to grants and programs, including fiscal tracking, deliverables, supplies, website updates, and timely reporting.
Participate in community advisory/planning boards, providing technical assistance and support. Attends scheduled meetings, serves on committees for special projects.
Assist with resource development and public relations activities for grant writing and fundraising, development and editing of prevention media campaigns.
Maintain proficiency with technology (e.g., Outlook, Canva, Constant Contact) and coordinate youth prevention-related websites and social media.
Exemplify prevention professional ethics to include role modeling healthy choices. (see Special Qualification)
Represent the agency in a cooperative and professional manner and identify opportunities to improve prevention service delivery.

Valid Driver’s License and minimum state-required auto insurance

Experience:

Prior experience working with youth (ages 12-18).
Experience developing and implementing programs, managing social media, and presenting to large groups preferred.

Excellent attention to detail.

SPECIAL QUALIFICATION

The primary responsibilities of a Prevention Specialist include giving presentations to community groups, youth and other members of the public regarding the use of nicotine, among other issues. In this respect, a Prevention Specialist is not only an educator regarding the dangers of nicotine use, but also a role model and advocate for a health-conscious lifestyle. The presentations given by a Prevention Specialist frequently take place in public or semi-public venues outside the premises of Beacon Mental Health, where interaction with target audiences before and after the presentations is common. It is also common for Prevention Specialists to reside in or near the same communities in which they fulfill their advocacy role. For all of these reasons, the use of products containing nicotine by a Prevention Specialist would interfere with the duties and performance of the position and the overall mission of Beacon Mental Health with respect to advocating and role modeling a healthy lifestyle. Accordingly, an additional qualification for the Prevention Specialist position is that the employee is not a current user of products containing nicotine.
