2 months ago

Calgary, Canada Kindred Connections Society (Kindred) Full time

**About Kindred**:
At Kindred, we’re convinced the key to living well is healthy relationships with self, family, and others. But relationships are complicated and sometimes we find ourselves in vulnerable places, disconnected from those who matter most.

Kindred’s purpose is to realize the power of human connection, and it shapes everything we do. Whether biological or chosen, family is the most important relationship in a person’s life. So, we invest in the special bond between children and those that care for them. We provide road maps toward healing when essential relationships are ruptured. And we understand that accessing timely mental health support can inspire confidence with self and others. Healthy human connection is possible, and together we can realize it.

**The Position**:
**Job Title: Clinician for Foster and Kinship Caregivers: Brief Intervention Caregiver Support Program**

BICS Clinicians work with caregivers to develop a short-term (90 days) plan to build on their strengths and knowledge to support the children placed in their care.
