If you have a desire to make a difference through the work that you do, Willow Springs may be the place for you. Located in the heart of the Sierras, Reno, Nevada provides a destination location where employees can live, work and play.

Work at Willow Springs Center is a life path. Resident Mentors work as members of the treatment team alongside other mental health professionals, therapists and nurses. Mentors work in the residential treatment setting. They assist in observing patient behavior on an ongoing basis to monitor the effectiveness of treatment plans and document progress in patient charts. Mentors assist with programs, activities of daily living, recreational opportunities and meals. Resident Mentors act as a role model for our patients (ages 6-17 years) by demonstrating appropriate behavior and applying active listening techniques. They also establish therapeutic interpersonal relationships with assigned patients through one-on-one interactions in order to accomplish treatment plan goals. Our Resident Mentors protect patients' rights by demonstrating appropriate professional and personal behavior, reporting observed violations of patients' rights and suspected or known instances of client abuse or neglect. Mentors are called to respond to safety and security issues according to established procedures and will transport patients to and from scheduled appointments and outings using company vehicles. Our Resident Mentors do what is necessary to maintain the safety, health and well-being of the children we serve in the therapeutic environment and make crucial decisions to restrain patients who are a threat to themselves or others and may be hostile and combative.
