Deliver Trauma-Informed Care Where Safety Begins

Join Stronger Oregon’s SafeHarbor Program—a specialized initiative bringing outpatient mental health services directly into domestic violence shelters and confidential safe housing environments.

This is not traditional outpatient care.
This is purpose-driven, trauma-informed work delivered at the most critical moment in a person’s life.

Our program mission is simple:
Provide the right care, in the right place, at the right time—without unnecessary barriers.

Who You’ll Serve

You will support individuals and families who are:

• Residing in domestic violence shelters or safe housing

• Survivors of intimate partner violence, family violence, or coercive control

• Navigating trauma, displacement, and major life transitions

Many clients present with:

• PTSD and acute trauma symptoms

• Anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation

• Hypervigilance and safety concerns

• Loss of support systems and instability

• Complex family dynamics involving children

These are individuals in safe environments—but still in crisis.
Your role is to help them begin real healing and recovery.

Where You’ll Work

Services are delivered directly within:

• Domestic violence shelters

• Confidential safe houses

• Transitional and emergency housing programs

By embedding care onsite, you eliminate barriers and provide safe, discreet, and immediate access to treatment.

What You’ll Do

Provide comprehensive outpatient behavioral health services, including:

• Individual therapy

• Family therapy and caregiver support

• Crisis intervention and stabilization

• Safety planning alongside shelter staff

• Case management and resource navigation

• Coordination with legal, medical, and advocacy partners

This is integrated, real-world care—not siloed therapy.

Why This Role Matters

This is some of the highest-impact work in mental health.

You will:

• Help survivors stabilize during crisis

• Support individuals in regaining autonomy and control

• Treat trauma at the point of safety—not months later

• Play a direct role in breaking cycles of violence and instability

You are not just providing therapy—you are helping people rebuild their lives.

A Model Built for Safety & Trust

• Trauma-informed, survivor-centered approach

• Confidential and flexible service delivery

• Emphasis on choice, empowerment, and autonomy

• Collaboration with shelter and advocacy teams

• Safety-first coordination in all aspects of care

Training & Support

We prepare you for this work:

• Training in domestic violence dynamics and trauma-informed care

• Shadowing and onboarding within shelter environments

• Ongoing consultation and clinical support

• Access to a collaborative, mission-driven team

The Future of the Model (2026 Expansion)

We are building toward a fully integrated care team, including:

• Peer Support Specialists

• Skills Trainers

• Prescribers (psychiatric providers)

This evolution will create a wraparound, team-based model—bringing even greater support and outcomes to clients.

Work Structure & Flexibility

• Full-Time = 35 hours/week (benefits eligible)

• Flexible scheduling based on placements

• Balanced caseloads reflective of acuity

Compensation Options

Option 1: Hourly ($50) + Bonus ($60) (Stability Focused)

• Pay period income estimations:

  • $3,860 before deductions (26 earned billable service hours a week amounting to 6 bonuses).

  • $4,220 before deductions (29 earned billable service hours a week amounting to 12 bonuses).

  • $3,500 before deductions (23 earned billable service hours a week amounting to 0 bonuses).

Option 2: Commission Model (Higher Earnings Potential)

• $30 an hour ($2,100 per pay period before taxes and deductions) with the potential to earn an extra commission ($0 to $6,000 per pay period).

  • If 60% of the total earned billable services calculated for a pay period (2 weeks) exceed base pay, the excess beyond the base pay amount will be earned as a commission! It is hard to give you exact calculations for commission potentials because your caseload will be filled with a variety of insurances that pay different rates for different types of services. Below are estimations and averages.

Pay-period income estimates for transparency:

Average of $5,300 before deductions (Assuming 26 earned billable service hours per week)

Average of $5,900 before deductions (Assuming 29 earned billable service hours per week)
