Why is Integrated Behavioral Health in Primary Care such rewarding work?

• We are valued members of the medical team that consists of pediatricians, nurses, care coordinators, BHCs, respiratory therapists, and administrative staff.  There is a strong culture of professional consultation across disciplines and within the BHC team.
• Easier access for patients and families where they are able to receive medical and behavioral health care in one location with providers who truly value care of the WHOLE child.
• Opportunity to provide short-term episodes of behavioral health treatment, while also developing longer-term relationships with families who need episodic treatment over time.
• No Integrated Primary Care experience? No worries!! As long as you have a strong background working with kids and teens, we can provide training in Integrated Primary Care, along with the behavioral management of medical concerns such as toileting, sleep, and adherence to a medical regimen, as needed.  We have a robust onboarding process to support your professional growth as you launch into this new and rewarding role.
• BHCs are encouraged to participate and lead projects and activities outside of their primary duty of providing exceptional clinical care.  For example, our BHCs lead staff trainings, participate in program development initiatives, and participate in & lead company-wide committees.

Responsibilities include: 

• Provide outpatient behavioral health consultation and therapy services for our patients through an internal physician referral process.  Common reasons for referral include anxiety, depression, behavior management, sleep issues, toileting issues, adjustment to a stressor, trauma, and parenting.  
• Conduct ADHD screenings.
• Efficient documentation of progress notes and physician communication within the shared electronic medical record.  
• Provide educational services to providers, staff, families, and community, as needed.
• Contribute and work collaboratively in a multi-disciplinary team environment.
