Maine Behavioral Healthcare is seeking a Social Worker/Clinical Counselor to join the multidisciplinary team of our Developmental Disorders Program to serve the specialized inpatient unit and the DD partial hospital program. This unique and growing program, one of only a few in the country, provides expert inpatient and partial hospital psychiatric and behavioral treatment to children and adolescents (5 - 20 years old) with developmental disorders. Approximately 75% of our patients have Autism Spectrum Disorder and many patients have intellectual disability or other developmental disabilities. The psychiatric disorders we typically address include mood disorders, anxiety disorders such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and thought disorders.
Our program is nationally recognized and our treatment team includes a child psychiatrist, behavioral psychologist, behavior analyst, psychiatric nurses, social workers, behavioral technicians, a speech pathologist, occupational therapists, and special education professionals. Working as a team, these professionals provide an array of therapies, healthcare, and education to patients and their families that are grounded in the values of dignity, respect, compassion, and excellence. The hospital DD Program consists of three components-a 12-bed acute in-patient unit, a licensed private, special-purpose school, and a new partial hospital program. We have an exciting learning environment that includes DD case conferences, team discussions and topic presentations, and clinical research.
The work includes developing patients' plans for after-care; facilitating network meetings of patients' providers; providing family therapy and psycho-education; and when appropriate working with patients to address social or emotional needs. Family involvement during the hospitalization is key to the patient's success upon discharge.
Responsibilities of the Social Worker/Clinical Counselor include:
