Prevention Services Programs Virtual Recruiting Forum | July 7-9

UPDATE (7/13/20): If you missed the event, you can review the summary document with job opportunities and contact information here (UNI login required).

Please join the New York City Administration for Children’s Services on July 7th, 8th, and 9th for a Virtual Recruiting Forum where 14 employers will talk about over 60 job opportunities across the city in Prevention Services Programs.

Prevention Services Programs are operated by a network of non-governmental organizations throughout New York City. They seek to strengthen and stabilize families by providing case management, building parenting skills, and offering therapeutic interventions. These services are aimed at keeping children safely at home and supporting families as they work towards their goals.

Openings include positions as case planners, therapists, supervisors and program directors. Positions are available for bachelor’s level case planners, MSWs, and MHCs. Some roles require licensure (or the ability to obtain licensure in 3 to 6 months from hire). Prior experience in prevention services is welcomed but not required. Some agencies also offer clinical hours to their direct service staff.

During this digital forum, participants will learn about each agency’s work, mission, and history; hear from agency staff about their open positions; and have the opportunity to ask panelists questions about their available positions. Following the forum, all participants will be provided with an information sheet of all attending panelists, including contact information and next steps to take if you would like to apply for an open position.

SEE DETAILS BELOW ABOUT HOW TO ATTEND THIS FORUM:

Attendees can join the events directly using the following links. Please note that each attendee will be muted upon entry to avoid background noise. They will utilize the chat feature during the Q&A portions.

The Forum will be hosted by New York City Administration for Children’s Services.

SPEAKERS’ BIOS

RAIHANA BOSSE, LCSW

Program Director of the Urban Family Center, Henry Street Settlement

Raihana began her career in social services working for the Administration for Children Services as a child protective specialist. That experience provided her with a glimpse into different family dynamics and the impact of generational traumas in those relationships. During this time she decided to work more intimately with individuals and obtaining an MSW was the key. After completing her degree from Stony Brook University Raihana set out on a journey to make a difference! She broadened her experience by working as an elementary school social worker and as a social worker at an inpatient substance abuse program. Raihana’s professional journey continued in multiple social work avenues such as child welfare, pediatric palliative care with the Visiting Nurse Service of New York, clinical psychotherapy, and discharge planning for the mental health unit on Rikers Island. 

“My professional journey helped me realize that I wanted to affect change at a higher level and decided that I wanted to be in more of a leadership role, so I began working within the Henry Street shelter at the management level. This allows me the proximity to keep my finger to the pulse of the clinical needs of the individual and the families we serve, while also being able to influence the way we provide those services. It is the best of both worlds!”

NICOLE LEE, LCSW

Director of the Domestic Violence Program, Henry Street Settlement 

Starting her director’s post in August of 2018, Nicole continues to lead the Transitional and Supportive House division in providing emergency intervention to families at Henry Street Settlement.  Her previous roles at Henry Street Settlement include serving as Assistant Director of the  School-Based Mental Health Clinic (SBMHC) Program, where she started out as a therapist in 2014 upon joining the organization. Nicole’s experience also includes inpatient and outpatient psychiatric services at Kings County Hospital Center.  After earning her bachelor’s degree in anthropology from New York University (NYU), she matriculated into the Silver School of Social Work of NYU.  Nicole has earned a post-master’s certificate in Advanced Clinical Practice from NYU, training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and is a certified supervisor in-field instruction (SIFI).  Nicole is passionate about elevating the profession of social work as a vehicle toward social justice through the core applications of empathy and advocacy. She volunteers her free time at Open House New York and is a junior board member of HeartShare St. Vincent’s Services.

Collaborative Care Information Session Recap with Concert Health

 

Last week, we welcomed Concert Health to present on the core principles of the Collaborative Care model and to share their experiences on providing behavioral health care remotely.

If you are interested in telehealth or opportunities at Concert Health, here are some steps you can take to be marketable for these roles:

    • Learn how to engage in all kinds of clinical interactions. Telephonic care requires a different set of skills for rapport building and demonstrating that you are present and listening.
    • Develop communication and facilitation strategies that make up for the inability to assess non-verbals in person, such as asking clients to describe their body language and how they are feeling.
    • Be flexible and open to using technology and varied modes of communication.
    • Get exposure to different populations to diversify your clinical expertise.

Thanks to Allison Kean, Virna Little, and Kathryn Sacks-Colon for their insightful presentation!

If you missed the event, you can review the presentation slides and audio recording are posted in Career Connect within our Document Library under the Presentation/Workshop folder.
