Family Partner - Wraparound & YICC

Come join our team of Family Partners! Family Partners support families in Multnomah County who are participating in Wraparound Services and/or YICC (Youth Intensive Care Coordination). Family Partners support and walk alongside these families to optimize the mental health services their child receives. A key feature of this position is that Family Partners have lived experience as a parent or primary caregiver (an unpaid individual who provides day-to-day care for a youth on an ongoing basis) of a child/youth with mental health, emotional, or behavioral health difficulties. Family Partners use this lived experience, along with knowledge of social service systems (e.g., mental health, developmental disabilities, child welfare, juvenile justice), to support other families. You can find the full job description here.
