DCFS is recruiting for a Program Manager/Mental Health Counselor III within Wraparound In Nevada (WIN) Program southern region. Wraparound in Nevada (WIN) is a community-based program that provides care coordination to children/youth with serious emotional disturbances who have complex needs. The screening/assessment process for families includes working directly with a child/youth and their family to determine their needs and the appropriate level of care coordination. WIN provides tiered care coordination that includes both High Fidelity Wraparound (HFW) and FOCUS. HFW is an evidenced based model that uses a team-based process utilizing the strengths of a child/youth and their family as well as their supports to create an individualized plan to meet the family's needs and reach their desired outcomes.

Principles: Family voice & choice, team based, natural supports, collaboration, community based, culturally competent, individualized, strengths based, unconditional care, and outcome based. Four Key Elements: Grounded in a strength's perspective, driven by underlying needs, supported by an effective team process, determined by families.
