  • Prior experience working with individuals facing mental health, behavioral, developmental, or substance abuse challenges.

  • Strong understanding of trauma-informed care and dual-diagnosis treatment.

  • Excellent communication, active listening, and problem-solving skills.

  • Valid Ohio driver’s license and reliable transportation (as this role involves community-based work).
