BGF Children’s Therapy

We provide in-home and center-based behavior therapy for children diagnosed with Autism. I am reaching out because we are searching for individuals to work one on one with the children we serve during this summer and into Fall 2024. Ideal candidates are working on their Bachelor’s or Master’s in a related field and have some experience with children. We train our staff in behavior analytic principles and the skills necessary to work with children diagnosed with Autism. We have hired students from DePaul in the past and have been very happy with their work and dedication. Hourly rates range from $20-$25, depending on experience.

 

Students can email (nicole@bgftherapy.com) or call (312-806-7937) for more information.

Action Alert!

On July 16th, 2022, the National Suicide Prevention Line transitioned to the 988 Lifeline. This new suicide and crisis lifeline uses a network of 200+ local crisis centers to connect people with anonymous and judgement free support. Individuals can now call, text, or chat with the easy-to-remember number and be connected to a trained crisis counselor.

We are already seeing the 988 Lifeline making a significant impact. In just over two years, the lifeline has helped 10+ million people. However, we still need to increase awareness of and support for the 988 Lifeline. More than 30% of Americans still don’t know about 988.

Let’s tell our representatives that we support this lifesaving resource. Please write to your US representatives expressing your support for increased and sustainable funding for 988 and urge them to help spread awareness of 988 through their platform; supporting public awareness campaigns around 988; and increasing signage of 988 in key touchpoint locations.

okelley1
Minds Matter Chicago is looking to engage with more students or alums from the Counseling Program at DePaul, as they think their perspective and expertise are a great match with their mission and focus on college access. They are currently looking for support in a couple of different ways:
(1) Program Director: This is a volunteer position, with a responsibility to co-leading a class of mentors and high school students through a set curriculum, which varies for the sophomore, junior, or senior classes. This is a great way to meet other adult volunteers and play a huge role in the success of the students in our program.
(2) Program Coordinator: This is a part-time, paid position, and its scope includes being present at our Saturday sessions (10am-4pm) and being actively involved in student recruitment and onboarding. This would be $20/hour and 20 hours/month.
