Why you'll love this position:

The New Outlook Program for Behavior and Mood Self-Management (NOP) is one of four long-term treatment programs at Fulton State Hospital and has a 75-bed capacity. NOP was conceptualized to treat individuals who experience severe mood dysregulation and who exhibit challenging behavior as a result. Many participants meet the criteria for Borderline Personality Disorder, as well as other severe personality disorders, mood disorders, diagnoses involving intellectual and developmental delays, and various paraphilias. In order to treat this unique population, our program uses a combination of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Positive Behavior Support. As our participants have very individualized treatment needs, an emphasis is placed on creating personalized target behaviors and incentive programs. NOP strives to guide participants in developing a skillful method of responding to stressful situations and dysregulated emotions through providing compassionate care and treatment, with the ultimate goal of assisting them in achieving a life worth living.
