Humana's Hunter’s House is an innovative mental health program providing meaningful and evidence based/informed live-in intensive treatment to young people in transition. This short-term assessment and stabilization program is open for people aged 12-18 who experience complex mental health challenges and require a small group care setting to stabilize. Stabilization will focus on meeting each individual’s basic needs, as well as getting proper psychiatric and psychological care to support long-term treatment for quality of life.
- Humana is recruiting a team of multi-disciplinary professionals with expertise in trauma-responsive care, clinical social work, and holistic approaches. The program will be staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and provide consistent supervision to participants. Supports extend to the community, inclusive of caregiver engagement, and supportive transition planning where a collaborative approach will work towards providing program participants with positive, prosocial community engagement, aimed to strengthen life skills and transition beyond the program.
