Program Description: Cascadia operates several licensed residential treatment homes for adults experiencing mental health challenges.

This position involves participation and implementation of program goals and objectives to promote a strengths-based, client centered approach to assisting residents in achieving individual goals and ultimately transitioning to a less restrictive setting. The Program Supervisor assures that program activities are administered in cooperation with treatment team members and as directed by the Program Manager. Program Supervisors provide general and specific direction to team members, are responsible for management of the program milieu, and serve as a back up to those supervised.
