Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program·Boston, Massachusetts
Conduct comprehensive behavioral health assessments and provide individual and group psychotherapy to adults experiencing homelessness. Collaborate with primary care providers and community partners to develop and implement patient-centered treatment plans.
Since 1985, BHCHP’s mission has been to ensure unconditionally equitable and dignified access to the highest quality health care for all individuals and families experiencing homelessness in greater Boston. Over 10,000 homeless individuals are cared for by Boston Health Care for the Homeless Program each year. We are committed to ensuring that every one of these individuals has access to comprehensive health care, from preventative dental care to cancer treatment. Our clinicians, case managers, and behavioral health professionals work in more than 30 locations to serve some of our community’s most vulnerable—and most resilient—citizens.
From our earliest days as a program, we have always sought to do work that is transformational: recognizing our shared humanity; centering dignity, compassion, mutual respect and supporting the right of every individual to access the highest levels of health care and every staff member to reach their fullest potential. We continue to be committed to building bridges and breaking down barriers, including systemic racism which harms us all. We provide community-based health care services that are compassionate, dignified, and culturally appropriate, incorporating social determinants of health, with the goal of breaking down the physical and systemic barriers that our patients face.
This clinic-based position serves multiple sites and offers the opportunity to work in a collaborative, interdisciplinary environment where your expertise directly improves patient outcomes. Referrals come from internal providers as well as community organizations, including shelters, treatment programs, and psychiatric hospitals. If you're passionate about expanding access to quality behavioral health care and making a meaningful impact in underserved communities, we encourage you to apply.
