Disfunctional unit of this organization - Group Therapist JJPI Employee Review

nice team work; nice co-workers; opportunities for advancement; love clients

pay could be better - don't get paid for case management so there is time outside of client hours you have to work and don't get paid for that

You will gain experience hours as a clinician.

In my experience JJPI was a draining place to work. Clients were admitted to the program with an extremely wide range of diagnoses and needs, and typically very intense and urgent needs. The expected caseload was very high. Clients would be assigned to a clinician to start immediately without any prior warning, discussion, or agreement on the clinician's part. The clinic offered virtual sessions despite the fact that many clients did not have access to adequate technology or resources to conduct these sessions. Supervision was provided but the supervisors were not highly trained or experienced. While the clinic seems to claim to be a trauma-specializing training institute, there was very little access to experienced specialists or training of any kind. All of these factors made it almost impossible to provide quality care to clients. However, management and company culture did not seem concerned with quality, but extremely concerned with quantity, and constantly pressured clinicians to increase their already large caseload.
