We offer a custom approach for adults that provides clinical sophistication and one-on-one staffing.  We sculpt individual treatment and support systems that are flexible and specific to the ever changing needs of each client.  Created to provide custom therapy and support in a real world setting; we do not use phases, linear progression, or group therapy and work with clients that have shown little success in traditional treatment environments.  One-on-one staffing allows each client to have their own daily schedule and receive personal support with emotional struggles and life skills. 

Mentor staff support clients as they undergo the processes of self-discovery, empowerment, and healing.  They form deep connections with clients on the basis of respect and acceptance and strive to cultivate a community conducive to both treatment and fun!  The one-on-one ratio creates a space in which staff can simultaneously show empathy and challenge unhealthy patterns.  Individual staffing also allows clients to practice interpersonal relationship skills in a safe environment and learn how to form healthy attachments, hold appropriate boundaries, and relate to others in a meaningful way.  Mentor staff provide motivation when it is lacking, flexibility and creativity in problem solving obstacles, a non-judgmental approach toward behaviors, and the support to create and maintain positive change.

This position allows you to transform your interests in wellness and community into a meaningful career.  Mentor staff provide clients with one-on-one support while role-modeling the healthy expression of emotions and appropriate behavior.  They lead by example and share their passion for a balanced lifestyle.  Mentors help clients learn and develop skills in culinary arts, self-care routines, outdoor recreation, mindfulness practices, social engagements, special interests, adventure excursions, budgeting, cleaning, time management, community service, school, and work.  Both day (8am-6pm) and night (6pm-8am) shift hours are available for full or part time commitment.
