Care Coordinator

Care CoordinatorMaryhurst provides treatment programs for severely traumatized children who most often are victims of sexual, physical, and/or emotional abuse. Children in our care turn to risk-taking behaviors to cope with their pain. These behaviors can include such actions as running away, truancy, suicidal gesturing, delinquency, and substance abuse. Their issues are further complicated by years of multiple placements in foster care and hospital settings. In fact, prior to their involvement with Maryhurst, any one of our children is likely to have experienced an average of 20 out-of-home placements. We work hard to provide consistency, structure, and love for children. It is because of this philosophy and the hard work of staff and volunteers that our programs are successful. Today Maryhurst provides nine different programs that address the unique needs of more than 600 children and their families.The Care Coordinator facilitates and supervises the treatment planning process for their clients and serves as a liaison and representative for child, family, and outside agencies.The Care Coordinator monitors effectiveness and efficiency of services for Quality Assurance.The Care Coordinator interfaces with other community resources such as legal, education and medical systems, as well as connects all services within the Maryhurst system for individual clients (therapy, medical, psychiatric, education, spiritual, etc).
