Position Overview:

Under the direction of the SNAP Program Manager, the SNAP Child and Family Counsellor will ensure the current developmental, treatment, and psycho-social needs of children, youth, and families are met by actively participating in the provision of assessment and treatment.

SNAP Child and Family Counsellors (CFCs) have a sound understanding of the theories that inform the development and treatment of problem behaviours and emotional difficulties in latency-aged children and their families. CFCs must engage often hard-to-reach clients and work collaboratively with the family to develop a treatment plan tailored to their individual strengths and needs, managing risky behaviours when necessary. CFCs endorse a scientist-practitioner model, delivering an evidence-based program which includes individual, family and group counselling; within the framework of the agency’s vision and mission. Working on a multi-disciplinary team, CFCs have an understanding of the complexities of family life, group dynamics, role-play, and behaviour management techniques. CFCs have highly developed skills and relate effectively to a wide variety of audiences and are responsible for liaising with child welfare, schools, police and other community partners.
