Pros
Some of the best things about Innercept are: Making a difference in the lives of young people who face challenging mental health issues. Helping families come together and support each other. Working with dedicated and caring professionals and para-professionals. Enjoying a close-knit, family atmosphere. Being part of a team that strives to be the very best at what they do; learning and growing together every day! During the era of COVID-19 many Innercept employees have shown a commitment to care that goes above and beyond what anyone might have expected! Staff have stepped up and supported the residents and their families and each other in amazing ways. Innercept leadership has gone to great lengths to accommodate staff who are struggling with illness, childcare, and numerous other COVID related issues to assure both heath and job security in a less than ideal situation for all of us. I am humbled to be working with such amazing, compassionate people.
Cons
Watching young people and their families struggle with painful mental health issues, even when the long-term outcomes are predominantly good. Residential mental health work is both emotionally and logistically difficult and can be very stressful. Some employees are not a good fit, even when offered supportive training, and the process of figuring that out together can be painful.
