  • High‑acuity response: Comfortable managing verbal/physical outbursts and emotional dysregulation in a residential setting.
  • Emotional regulation: Demonstrated ability to maintain composure and set firm, healthy boundaries.

Growth mindset: Willingness to learn and grow; candidates with strong boundary‑setting and passion for adolescent mental health are encouraged to apply, even without direct experience!

Adolescent experience: Background working with adolescents in behavioral health, residential, or crisis environments preferred.
