Group Coordinator (Patient Care Coordinator) - Partial Hospitalization Program, PHP

Responsibilities

BRANCHES Staunton -- a service of Liberty Point Behavioral Healthcare, LLC -- is seeking an additional Group Coordinator (Patient Care Coordinator) to join our growing Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) team.

This opportunity is full-time and offers full benefits, generous paid time off, and competitive pay.

In early 2025, Liberty Point Behavioral Healthcare opened BRANCHES - Staunton, a Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) which caters to male and female adolescent patients, age 11-17. We provide trauma-informed psychiatric treatment to youth who are experiencing emotional, behavioral, and educational difficulties. This is an intensive treatment opportunity for youth in a secure and supportive environment -- a good fit for children and teens who are either stepping down from acute inpatient hospitalization after stabilization, or from a residential treatment program, or for individuals who need more mental health support than a traditional outpatient setting provides. This program is less restrictive than an inpatient setting and can help ease the transition back into the community, home, and school. Our primary focus at BRANCHES is on encouraging constructive change and personal growth, learning positive ways to get appropriate attention, improving behavior choices, improving emotional expression, learning problem-solving skills, and developing thinking patterns that support positive well-being.

Open since March 2005, Liberty Point also operates a residential treatment center (RTC) for adolescent males ages 12-17 with psychiatric disorders and co-occurring intellectual disabilities. We specialize in working with young men who are diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
