**JOB SUMMARY**:
Reporting to the Supervisor, Live-in Care and Community Services, the Child and Youth Care Practitioner (CYC) is a key service provider along our continuum of live-in care services that includes the home of the client, therapeutic foster homes, parent-model care homes, and a live-in treatment program. An incredibly challenging but rewarding position, the CYC will work in collaboration with the client’s multi-disciplinary treatment/care team to implement recommendations by providing direct mental health services to clients engaged in live-in treatment services. Support may be provided to a client and their family before, during and following live-in treatment, based on site requirements, and in a variety of environments, including home, school, and community settings. CYC Practitioners are scheduled on a rotational basis which includes daytime, evenings, and overnight awake hours to support Live-in Treatment Services that operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days per year.

The CYCP - Live-in Treatment (LIT) will provide care to co-ed youth 12 to 16 years old presenting with acute and chronic conditions of mental health and/or substance use. This care will be provided at our eight bed Live-in Treatment program on 631 Second Line West in Sault Ste. Marie. The primary role of the CYCP-LIT is to provide a safe, welcoming, inclusive, stable, and nurturing environment (therapeutic milieu) that promotes behavioural change and growth through the incorporation of traditional Indigenous approaches to well-being blended with western scientific approaches. As an integral member of the care and treatment team, the CYCP-LIT will inform the initial assessment and subsequent treatment plan, through observation and engagement of the youth, documentation of the youth’s behavior, attitude, response to the LIT environment, interactions with peers, staff, and family, dietary, hygiene, and sleep habits, and response to counselling, as well as, any medication.

In addition to the direct care of the youth, the CYCP-LIT is responsible for supporting youth in the general home management, including housekeeping, grocery acquisition, meal planning and preparation. The CYCP-LIT will also equip caregivers with the necessary skills to youth achieve personal goals, develop healthy relationships, gain essential life and social skills, safety plan, and participate in therapy as needed. Inherent to this work is the recognition and management of risk associated with youth experiencing severe/acute conditions of mental health and or substance use challenges. Essential to facilitating change is the inclusion of the youth’s culture, community, and informal circle of support.
