Youth Outreach Services
Chicago, IL

Department:  Counseling

Location:  Central -Chicago

Address:  3445 N. Central Ave, Chicago, IL 60634

Schedule: Part-time , flexible schedule

Position Overview: 

Do you have a passion for working with children and families? Youth Outreach Services is looking for compassionate, dedicated people in the greater Chicagoland area who want to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends. Multi-Systemic Therapy (MST) is specifically designed to treat youth aged 12-17 (and their families) for serious behavior problems. MST/EA is delivered in the community (clients' homes, schools, neighborhoods) and occurs with a high level of intensity (2 or more sessions per week).

MST/EA Coach incorporates treatment interventions that are evidence-based and places a high premium on approaching each client/family as unique. MST/EA addresses the needs of juveniles with negative behaviors such as verbal/physical aggression, poor academic performance, substance abuse, and criminal involvement. You will empower families to address challenging and/or problematic behavior and make life-transforming changes. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as skill building, changing unhelpful family interactions, and increasing social support. You will receive ongoing training in the Multisystemic Therapy (MST) model to implement MST as designed. This is an excellent opportunity for new clinicians who are looking to develop their clinical skills.

Candidates may locate additional information about the MST Treatment Model at  (
