Think of challenges such as trauma, autism, depression, borderline, or other complex psychological issues.

Within our treatment center, healthcare professionals work together on our recovery. We are looking for a support worker who stands by us, helps understand our emotions, and supports us with structure, clarity, and a concrete step-by-step plan.
