Careers

Behavioral health work that actually reaches people in their own communities.

Why work here

Most behavioral health jobs keep you in a building. Ours do not. Our teams work where people actually live — which is harder, and also the reason the work holds up after discharge.

We hire licensed clinicians, qualified mental health professionals, nurses, case managers, residential staff, and peer recovery specialists across both Hampton Roads locations. If you have lived experience of mental illness or substance use recovery, that is a qualification here, not something to leave off your resume.
