Key Responsibilities

• Facilitate CBT Groups: Lead structured sessions for both youth and adult cohorts, focusing on identifying cognitive distortions, emotional regulation, and pro-social decision-making.
• Support Reentry Transitions: Address the unique challenges of returning citizens, including employment readiness, conflict resolution, and rebuilding family dynamics.
• Foster a Safe Environment: Create a non-judgmental space where participants feel heard, respected, and motivated to change.
• Track Progress: Maintain brief, accurate session notes to monitor participant engagement and growth.

Qualifications

• CBT Knowledge: Solid understanding of Cognitive Behavioral Treatment techniques and their application in group settings.
• Relevant Experience: Experience working with justice-involved individuals or at-risk youth is highly preferred.
