Job Description

Do you have a passion for working with children and families?

Community Solutions Inc. is looking for compassionate, dedicated people in the Manchester, Nashua and Concord who want to empower youth and families by creating strength-based behavior change that will be sustained long after treatment ends.

Community Solutions Inc. is a nonprofit organization that promotes the responsible citizenship, accountability and well-being of individuals and families involved, or at risk of involvement, in the child welfare, juvenile justice, or criminal justice system. Since 1962 we have been delivering supervision, treatment, and comprehensive individualized services to help clients interact more effectively in their communities and become productive citizens.

As a Therapist you will receive ongoing training in the Multisystemic Therapy

(MST)

model as you work with families, youth, their communities, and other key members of their ecology to implement MST as designed. Extensive research has proven the effectiveness of MST.

MST therapists do whatever it takes, via close collaboration with all involved, to address the needs of juveniles with serious criminal offenses, including and, in some cases, substance abuse.

You will empower families to address challenging and/or problematic behavior and to help youth aged 12 - 17 make life-transforming changes. Treatment progress is made through intensive interventions such as skill building, changing unhelpful family interactions, and increasing social support, to name a few. For more information on Multisystemic Therapy, please watch this video:
