About the Program

Adolescent and Family Services (AFS) has partnered with the Eugene 4J and Bethel School Districts to serve students with substance use and mental health problems by providing counselors who are Certified Alcohol and Drug Counselors (CADCs), Qualified Mental Health Associates (QMHAs), and/or Qualified Mental Health Professionals (QMHPs) at all 4J and Bethel high schools. Depending on credentials, counselors may complete full substance use, behavioral, and/or mental health clinical assessments with students identified as having a potential substance use problem and/or mental health problem and their caregiver(s). Counselors will assist the students in accessing appropriate treatment resources either on-site (i.e., within the school setting) or in the community and/or may provide brief, preventative and harm reduction interventions to the students. In addition, the counselors market his/her services and provide brief substance-use focused education in identified classrooms, as needed.

The Clinical Supervisor position is fast-paced and essential to our team. We aim to meet someone who enjoys working as a team, can find the humor in challenges, and is ready to encourage creativity within an evidence-based approach. The AFS program hopes to find a Supervisor who is supportive to the team during tough cases or personal challenges, and who will lead with compassion and attention to self-care.
