Educational Therapist, PRIDE Program

PRIDE Program at Behavioral Health Associates serves as the area's premier full-time emotional support program. Servicing students for a variety of reasons, the core of the program is founded on the following five components: Preparation, Recovery, Interaction, Development, and Education.

By providing every student every opportunity to succeed, the PRIDE Program instills the skills and techniques necessary for an eventual transition back to their home district. Our goal at PRIDE is to put each student in a position to make decisions that yield the best possible outcome. We accomplish this by empowering students with the strategies and knowledge necessary to navigate challenges that may arise while in school, as well as in their personal lives.

Our PRIDE Program has an opening for Educational Therapist! If you are a team member who is energetic and want to make a difference in the lives of children, you will find working at our PRIDE Program to be a rewarding career!
