The Intake Therapist (referred to as Personal Wellness in participant-facing settings) serves as the primary program entry point to services at TNFC while providing outpatient, trauma-informed mental health therapy to a capped, small caseload of youth and emerging adults with foster care experience.

This role emphasizes engagement, emotional wellbeing, skill-building, and clinical support while collaborating closely with Navigators (case managers), peer support specialists, and other members of the care team. The Intake Therapist owns the intake pipeline including initial outreach, phone screenings, comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments, and referral triage while maintaining a dedicated, capped therapy caseload of 12 active participants.

The Transition Navigator (TN) partners with youth and emerging adults, along with their families and support systems, to build on strengths, foster resilience, and promote successful transitions into adulthood. Using a person-centered and trauma-informed approach, the TN – functioning as the primary case manager - provides individualized guidance and in-vivo coaching across the five transition domains to support participants in achieving their personal, educational, and career goals.
