Job description

A Rewarding Career at CASA Mental Health

Are you passionate about creating hope for children, youth and families? At CASA Mental Health, every role contributes to our mission of building resilience and advocating for the children and families we serve. Guided by our vision of a community where all children and youth are empowered to thrive, we deliver holistic, evidence-informed and compassionate care across Alberta.

About the Core Program

You will be part of the program that is the first stop for most families who come to CASA Mental Health. CASA’s Core program serves children ages three to 17 and provides short-term, goal-directed mental health treatment for a wide range of concerns. From Core, children, youth and families are able to step up or down into more appropriate levels of service if needed.

About the Psychiatry and Medical Clinics (MPC) Program

You will be part of a team that supports kids and youth who would not necessarily benefit from a CASA program, but still need psychiatric care as they have complex, chronic mental health disorders. Psychiatry and Medical Clinics provide appropriate and dedicated resources to these children, including intensive, medically monitored, community-based psychiatric care.
