Description

Aroostook Mental Health Center (AMHC), proudly serving Maine communities for more than 60 years, is seeking a full-time BHP who is passionate about supporting children and families to join our Home and Community Treatment (HCT) Program based in Madawaska. 

At AMHC, our mission has always been simple: help people live healthier, more fulfilling lives. As a Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinic (CCBHC), we are committed to providing high-quality, accessible behavioral health services while supporting the professionals who make this work possible.

This is more than a job — it’s an opportunity to join a collaborative team dedicated to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children, youth, and families across our communities.

About the HCT Program:

The Home and Community Treatment (HCT) Program provides intensive, short-term, in-home services for children experiencing social-emotional and behavioral challenges.  Services are delivered in the child’s home, school, and community, allowing clinicians to help families practice and integrate new skills in real-life situations.

The goals of HCT include:

• Helping families better understand their child’s behavior and developmental needs
• Teaching caregivers effective therapeutic responses and strategies
• Building natural and community supports to maintain progress after treatment
• Reducing crisis service utilization
• Stabilizing youth in their home environments and preventing higher levels of care

 Why Join the AMHC HCT Team?

• Manageable Caseload
  Average caseload of approximately six children and families, allowing clinicians to focus on meaningful, high-quality care.
• Strong Clinical Support
  Regular individual and group supervision to strengthen clinical practice and support professional resilience.
• Mileage Reimbursement
  Generous reimbursement for work-related travel, with efforts made to keep client travel within one hour between visits.
• Flexible Scheduling
  Flexibility to coordinate schedules with families to best meet treatment needs.
• Collaborative Team Model: Each HCT clinician works alongside a Bachelor-level Behavioral Health Professional (BHP), creating a team-based approach that supports both the clinician and the families we serve.

Key Responsibilities:

As part of the HCT team, clinicians will:

• Collaborate with the assigned HCT Therapist to provide services outlined in the family’s treatment plan
• Deliver services in client homes and community settings, including evening or weekend hours when needed to support families
• Implement evidence-based therapeutic interventions designed to address behavioral and emotional needs
• Maintain accurate clinical documentation and case records in accordance with AMHC policies
• Monitor and evaluate treatment progress and adjust interventions in collaboration with the treatment team
