Job Description:
IMPACT (Invo Multidisciplinary Program to Address Childhood
Trauma) utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to the treatment of
youth struggling with mental health challenges, behavioral
challenges, and social/emotional issues at home and school. Our
interventions draw upon field-tested, evidence-based protocols
while encouraging academic progress. Our youth-guided approach
draws on each youth's strengths, incorporates family members and
other people living in the home (who may not be family members),
and group-based interventions when appropriate, with the goal
establishing healthy behaviors that will serve the youth throughout
his/her lifetime.
The guiding philosophy behind IMPACT intervention services
recognizes the severe implications of Adverse Childhood Experiences
(ACEs). By understanding how to manage or ameliorate the effects of
ACEs, youth-guided IMPACT intervention can change children's lives
for the better. Research has clearly shown the role of ACEs as root
causes of behavior to better understand why a youth is distressed
(i.e., early life trauma, mental illness in household, youth
witnessing domestic violence) as a means for understanding the
etiology of emotional problems, mental illness, and substance use.
By identifying root causes of behavior, the IMPACT therapist
creates treatment plans that will yield long term positive effects
(such as reducing truancy, preventing substance abuse relapse, and
maladaptive behaviors). The ramifications of failing to address
ACEs, specifically when present at a high threshold in each child,
can be catastrophic for their future mental and physical
health.
The IMPACT team services multiple schools in the Redding, CA area,
providing intensive behavioral and mental-health supports. The team
consists of Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Behavior
Support Specialists (BSS), and Licensed Mental Health Counselors
(LMHC). Students referred have a history significant for
maladaptive behaviors, adverse childhood experiences, as well as
deficits in social functioning. The multidisciplinary team works
collaboratively to provide wrap-around support to referred students
and their families.
An IMPACT Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will provide
intensive services for both children and adolescents, as well as
supporting parents through skills training as per Applied Behavior
Analysis (ABA). The following summarizes duties, as
