My name is Shawn Durnen, President of NineLine Veteran Services here in Fife, WA. Our mutual colleague, Dr. Larry Pruitt, shared your information so I could share a job posting we have that requires an LCSW. In this instance, our su***de prevention program includes clinical and non-clinical aspects like peer support, case management, and much more. We're seeking a strong community leader who can manage an interdisciplinary team across multiple counties in the state, with a focus on clinical determinants of health in the Puget Sound area. The position itself pays 85 to 100,000 thousand for the time being. I understand this may be a unique ask, and I would appreciate any recommendations and guidance you can offer.
