The Lead position provides consultation and support to CGRC employees at identified school sites within the school-based partnership. The Lead provides behavioral consultation intervention services to a school-focused treatment team for a child or adolescent in need. These services are provided primarily in designated contracted schools focused on emotional support settings. The Lead assists team members to grow in their roles and skills.
