Beech Brook, one of Northeast Ohio’s premier mental health agencies, is hiring several social workers/professional counselors to provide school-based mental health services to students in grades PreK-12 in the Twinsburg City School District. Services include individual student support, small and large group programming, crisis intervention, classroom support, consultation with educational staff, training for staff development, program development, and involvement in district-wide initiatives. No Medicaid or insurance billing is required. This position provides mental and behavioral health support and interventions to identified at-risk youth with social-emotional, behavioral and/or trauma-based issues. Staff work mostly during school hours and only a few evenings each year. In summer months, students and their families are served mostly in their homes or community settings. Those hired must be flexible but will work mostly with each candidate’s designated grade building (elementary, middle school, high school). Staff must also adapt quickly as pandemic-related directives come from the school district, county, state or federal government and may change throughout the school year.
