Licensed Bilingual (English/Spanish) Clinician Roca, Inc - 4.1 Chelsea, MA Job Details $75 - $100 an hour 23 hours ago Benefits Flexible schedule Qualifications Master's degree Master's degree in human services Adolescents Full Job Description About Roca Roca's mission is to be a relentless force in disrupting incarceration, poverty, and racism by partnering with young adults, the police, and systems at the center of urban violence to create safety, address trauma, and find hope. Roca is a fast-paced, data-driven, and relentless organization that annually serves 1,800 young people at the center of urban violence - the young people most likely to shoot or be shot. Founded just outside of Boston in 1988, Roca operates a nationally acclaimed Intervention Model with five sites in Massachusetts, one in Hartford, CT and one in Baltimore, Maryland. Over 36 years, Roca has learned that to impact urban violence, we must work directly with the young people and systems at the center of it. Roca's Intervention Model engages this population of very high-risk young adults in an intensive three-year program to address trauma, teach life-saving cognitive-behavioral skills, and break the cycle of incarceration and poverty that traditional youth programs alone cannot break. And, because it takes all of us, Roca also helps institutions like police and state agencies change the way they work with young people who are traumatized and living at the intersection of gangs, drugs, poverty, violence, immigration challenges, and involvement with multiple public systems. Roca's approach is rooted in understanding brain development, neuroplasticity, and the impact of trauma on the brain; the Intervention Model is built on the foundational theories of Cognitive Behavioral Theory, Stages of Change and Systems Change. Recognizing that the young people we work with have barriers to accessing clinical services in traditional settings, Roca contracts with clinical behavioral and mental health partners to provide therapeutic support within Roca's umbrella of supports for young people, meeting them where they are at and where they feel safe, and being available for support in times of crisis and when young people are inconsistent or experience setbacks.
