The Intensive Family Therapy Program is dedicated to empowering youth to reduce risky behaviors and achieve life goals such as staying in school, maintaining employment, and strengthening family relationships.

• Are flexible and responsive – Participate in a rotating on-call schedule that may include some evenings and weekends to ensure families receive timely support.
• Are passionate about making a difference – Support youth facing externalizing challenges such as substance use, aggression, and involvement with the juvenile justice system.
• Enjoy working in the community – Provide services in schools, homes, juvenile facilities, and other community locations throughout Caldwell, Gonzales, and Guadalupe counties — meeting families where they are.
