Licensed Mental Health Professional - WIP

NaphCare is hiring a full-time Clinician to join the specialized jail-based Women's Intervention Program (WIP) that operates as an adult female mental health program to promote wellness and recovery at the Forsyth County law Enforcement and Detention Facility in Winston-Salem, NC. The WIP is operated by two clinicians with a team approach (i.e., co-leading groups) under the direction and support of a Mental Health Director.

The Clinician will screen patients for entry into the WIP, develop individualized treatment goals and evaluate those goals over time, and provide some individual and mostly group therapy using psychoeducation, evidenced-based therapies, coping and social skills building, and support to improve patients' symptoms of mental illness and/or disability, functioning, and overall well-being. The ideal candidate has experience working with serious mental illness and/or in a correctional setting.

By providing patient-centered, evidenced-based, and holistic care, the WIP helps incarcerated women living with the struggles of incarceration, mental illness and/or disability understand their need for developing healthier coping skills. The WIP provides daily group psychoeducation Monday through Friday to help patients learn how to maximize their wellness and functioning within the facility's general population and once released - to move forward with their lives in a healthier place.

NaphCare is partnered with the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office to provide this program, and the Clinician is an employee or contractor of NaphCare, Inc.
