Working with teens during challenging moments takes patience, consistency, and the ability to build trust. Sometimes, being a steady, supportive presence can make a meaningful difference.

Embark at Hurricane – Stabilization and Assessment, in partnership with Sunstone HR, is looking for caring, dependable individuals to join its team as Behavioral Health Associates supporting boys ages 12–17.

As an Afternoon Shift Behavioral Health Associate, you'll support teens through structured programming, daily routines, and emotional challenges while helping maintain a safe, home-like residential environment.

Our program focuses on stabilization, assessment, and family-centered healing for teens experiencing significant emotional and behavioral challenges.

You don't need direct behavioral health experience to apply. We're looking for people who are patient, dependable, comfortable setting boundaries, and interested in supporting young people.

What You'll Do

Build meaningful connections. Develop supportive relationships with teens while modeling healthy communication, accountability, and respect.

Support daily activities. Help students participate in structured programming, daily responsibilities, and life skills development.

Navigate challenging moments. Use verbal de-escalation techniques and approved safety procedures to respond to emotional or behavioral escalations.

Partner with the treatment team. Work alongside therapists, nurses, and fellow staff to reinforce individualized treatment goals.

Maintain a supportive environment. Help keep the residential setting safe, organized, and welcoming, including light housekeeping.

Document important information. Record student interactions, incidents, and progress accurately.

Strengthen teamwork. Participate in staff and house activities that build community and collaboration.

This role requires emotional maturity, patience, and the ability to remain calm when supporting teens with high-acuity behavioral and emotional needs, including verbal or physical outbursts. Some situations may require approved physical interventions, including holds or restraints when clinically necessary.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for people who can balance compassion with accountability, build trust with teens, and maintain firm, healthy boundaries.

Experience working with adolescents in behavioral health, residential treatment, or crisis settings is preferred, but direct experience is not required. A willingness to learn and grow is important.
