Incumbents possess a degree of knowledge and proficiency sufficient to perform work independently with little or no additional training. The Nevada DIVISION OF CHILD AND FAMILY SERVICES (DCFS) has career opportunities for a Mental Health Counselor to work in our Child Welfare system. The position is assigned to the Winnemucca office. This licensed Mental Health Counselor position's priority will be to provide direct clinical services, i.e. Intensive Family Services (IFS), crisis intervention, family counseling/therapy, group therapy and individual therapy on a case by case basis), complete assessments, provide specific therapeutic intervention training (i.e. Parent Child Interaction Therapy, Parent Management Training, Coping CAT, TFCBT, etc.) and psychoeducation in primarily home-based settings. Staff provide in-home, family centered, intensive services including therapy/counseling, skill-building, supportive services, advocacy, clinical case management and mental health assessments (for children and adults) to complex, high risk children and families. Clinical Program staff within the Division provide diagnostic assessments and information to Child Welfare Workers for custody children needing Medicaid or a higher level of care; crisis intervention for IFS and non-IFS clients; placement disruption services; and case consultation services for other DCFS program staff. IFS does not replicate existing services and is not considered a mental health program, but rather a clinical child welfare service program designed to intervene quickly with families where safety threats have been identified and removal of children is imminent without effective preventative services. IFS prioritizes efforts to enhance deficient caregiver protective capacities to mitigate safety factors. Licensure as a Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) issued by the appropriate licensing or certification authority is required at time of appointment and as a condition of continuing employment. Travel up to 25% may be required. These are full time positions with an anticipated variable work schedule that is constructed to meet the schedule of individuals receiving services Mon-Fri with Sat/Sun off, that includes a variable work agreement with overtime after 40 hours per week.

We recognize that Nevada's families are our future and children, youth and families thrive when they live in safe permanent settings, experience a sense of sustainable emotional and physical wellbeing, and receive support to consistently make positive choices for family and the common good.
