Job Description

Our Mission

The Children’s Home Society of Idaho is committed to providing exceptional mental health care services to the children we serve by caring for them with understanding and compassion. We are dedicated to breaking the stigma on mental health and making sure all children receive the proper care they deserve.

About CHS

The Children’s Home Society of Idaho was founded in 1908 by O.P. Christian. who worked alongside several community leaders, including C.W. Moore and Gov. Frank R. Gooding, to provide a place for children who were roaming city streets, begging and stealing food. Cynthia A. Mann, a school teacher and philanthropist, donated the land on which the home was built and still elegantly stands at 740 Warm Springs Avenue.

When foster care came about in the late 1960s, orphanages were soon to become obsolete. Children’s Home Society worked with Boise State University to determine the greatest need in the community for children at that time. Studies showed that there was a lack of mental, emotional and behavioral health care for children, especially those in low-income families. Thus, a transition began in 1975 from orphanage to outpatient mental health clinic.

The Children’s Home Society Operates the Warm Springs Counseling Center.

The average number of clients served by both locations each day is 90. The majority (85 percent) of those treated are children who are considered “at-risk” due to their economic, physical, and/or emotional status. More than 80 percent of those treated at the center cannot pay or co-pay for services. Yet, they are treated anyway.

Common conditions that are treated include family conflict, bullying, trauma, abuse, grief, self-esteem issues, eating disorders, bipolar disorders, and foster care placement, just to name a few.

We provide mental, emotional, and behavioral health care services to more than 90 children and family members each day. Through counseling and therapy our goal is to help our clients develop coping skills, attitudes and positive experiences necessary to succeed in educational settings and lead happy, healthy, and productive lives.

As one of the most experienced outpatient providers of behavioral health services, Warm Springs Counseling Center (WSCC) serves thousands of children and families every year.

We are looking for a part time LMFT, LCPC, LCSW, LPC or LMSW for our school program.
