We are looking for a kind and outgoing person to assist and interact with the children as they engaging in art group at our K-12 Day Treatment Program. The Day Treatment Program is a mental health program that aims to restore functioning, develop age-appropriate coping skills, decrease aggression and/or self-defeating behaviors, improve family support systems, develop positive relationships with adults and peers, and improve functioning in the home, school, and community.
As a Children's Art Group Assistant you will help organize supplies, hand out materials, observe the inner workings of a mental health facility, learn how staff interact with the children, clean up art room at the end of class, assist with hanging completed art on the walls in the hall, and most importantly, get to know and support the children. We are looking for someone that can be consistent and preference will be given to those that can commit to a 6 months or a full school year to keep consistency for the children.
This opportunity is for Wednesdays during the daytime.
