Tamarack Center:

Tamarack strives to support staff through an environment that fosters connection and collaboration with all of the staff. Tamarack also knows that the best healing comes when staff are connected to the teens and families we serves. For this reason all staff are seen as being in a "Thereputic" role, even if your role is not clinical. This means that staff will often engage with our residents in rec activities, sit and talk while on the milieu, or engage in other creative ways. This approach creates a more relaxed and connected environment for the staff, which has led to many staff remaining at Tamarack for 10, 20, and even 30 + years.
