Family Partner - Relief

Do you have a lived experience raising a child with behavioral or developmental support needs?

Our Behavioral Health Services Division at Riverside Community Care is looking for a Family Partner!

Riverside Community Care seeks parents with lived experience raising a child with behavioral or developmental support needs and sound knowledge of the network of available services to families and youth.

This is a relief opportunity to provide support to parents during a psychiatric emergency assessment of their children. Family Partners will work out of our Milford, MA office and will travel to locations in the local community. Family Partners work collaboratively with Master’s level clinicians to intervene and stabilize youth in crisis. They will provide support to parents or guardians by helping them navigate the mental health system, and directing them toward each step in the process.

NOTE: This position requires that the applicant is a parent with lived experience navigating the special education, DCF, DMH, DDS, or mental health service delivery system on behalf of your child. Applicants who do not demonstrate this experience cannot be considered for this role.
