What will you do?

Systemic issues and difficulties within the family or relationships can also be part of the treatment.

Within the outpatient clinic, you will focus on reducing symptoms, increasing self-reliance, strengthening coping skills, and promoting social participation. You will conduct diagnostic research, draw up treatment plans, and offer evidence-based treatments. You will work closely with the young person, their network, and involved chain partners.

As a lead clinician, you will maintain an overview of the treatment trajectory. You will monitor the content of the treatment, conduct case discussions, support colleagues with complex issues, and be responsible for evaluating and adjusting treatments where necessary.

You will work multidisciplinarily with psychologists, psychiatrists, nurses, systemic therapists, and other healthcare professionals. Scaling up care is possible through close cooperation with the FACT youth team at the same location.
