• Develop and deliver IPV education and outreach programs to diverse community groups.
• Build and maintain partnerships with service providers, schools, and faith-based organizations.
• Maintain timely and accurate documentation.
• Participate in supervision, audits, evaluations, and agency initiatives.

• Strong clinical skills in assessment, crisis response, and therapeutic modalities (e.g., CBT, MI, ACT, Family Therapy).
• Experience with trauma-informed, survivor-centered, and accountability-oriented approaches.
• Knowledge of the Child & Family Services Act and community resources.
• Ability to work collaboratively within a multidisciplinary team.
