Our 20-bed Child and Adolescent Inpatient Behavioral Health Unit provides trauma-informed psychiatric care to youth ages 10–17 currently experiencing acute crisis. Patients often present with suicidal ideation, aggression, or severe mood dysregulation requiring immediate stabilization in a safe, structured setting. We specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), using a skills-based approach to help patients build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. We seek team members who are passionate about working with youth, committed to trauma-informed care, and eager to grow their DBT expertise in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.
The Registered Nurse performs nursing functions and supervises other RNs, LPNs, and other assistive personnel in the performance of nursing care according to the state nurse practice act. The Registered Nurse assesses patient needs, plans and implements patient care, and evaluates the effectiveness of care provided.
