Responsibilities In-Home Youth & Family Therapist Opportunity – 24, 32, or 40 hours per week Fuller Hospital is a 109-bed licensed, private psychiatric facility located in South Attleboro, Massachusetts providing inpatient and outpatient behavioral health services to residents of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Inpatient units are designed to treat adults with general psychiatric or intellectual disabilities, as well as adolescents with general psychiatric issues. Patients with co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse disorders can be treated on most units. Fuller Hospital also provides a less intensive Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) to patients with psychiatric and co-occurring psychiatric and substance abuse disorders. The In-Home Therapy Program is a service that provides youth with intensive therapy and family sessions in the home, guided by a master's-level clinician (IHT) and a bachelor's-level support staff (TT&S). Our goal within IHT is to meet with the family (often multiple times per week), in order to improve family dynamics, healthy functioning within the home/community, and to ultimately prevent them from stepping up to a higher level of care. We work intensively with the family until they are stabilized and able to transition to a lower level of care (i.e., outpatient therapy).

Position Structure Commitment/Hours: As an IHT intern, it is expected that you will intern for at least 2 semesters/close to a year. After internship, you will have the opportunity to continue your IHT work, post-graduation, by staying on as a MA level IHT. The reason for this is so you have the chance to see your cases through to discharge, since we want to avoid disruptions in the client’s treatment team by needing to reassign cases that are close to discharge. We are currently hiring both part time (24 Hours) and full time (32 or 40 hours) staff so interns can work their required hours or more. You create your own schedule based on you and your client’s availability. The typical work day hours vary as you will be making your own schedule with the families. During the school year, sessions often take place in the afternoons once school is out. However, you are welcome to schedule appointments during the day, if applicable, and on weekends if you and the family prefer to do so. You are able to work from home (besides your sessions) with the laptop that is provided for documentation and zoom when applicable. You are not required to come into the office during any specific times. We do have office space and computers available should you choose to come into the office.

Caseload: Caseload depends on your status and how long/how often you are seeing your clients. If you are part-time (24 hours) you may have around 4-6 cases; full time you may have 8-10 cases. There is no set amount of clients you would have to take, just however many clients it takes to meet your hours. Areas of Service: We service the Southeast Region of MA. The bulk of our referrals come from towns such as Attleboro, Taunton, Mansfield, Foxboro and surrounding areas. We also take cases in New Bedford/Fall River area for clinicians who live in that area. We try to keep you centralized in a specific area to avoid extensive travel. We also try to obtain referrals in your desired areas when possible. Crisis Stabilization: Your clients may call you if they are in crisis and in need of support We create safety plans with all of our clients so they have a safety plan protocol to follow which outlines skills for them to use and supports that they can call (typically including IHT, TT&S, TM, outpatient counselor, natural supports, mobile crisis, etc.). If you are unavailable to take the crisis call, you can direct them to call our 24-hour crisis line. Supervision: You will receive one hour per week of face-to-face supervision with a licensed clinician (in-person or via zoom).
