Behavioral Health Technician - Peds Crisis Program

About the role

The Munson Pediatric Crisis Residential Program is a six‑bed, short‑term residential treatment program for youth ages 8–17 experiencing a behavioral health crisis, providing 24/7, trauma‑informed care in a safe, home‑like environment as an alternative to inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. During a typical 7–14 day stay, residents receive individualized treatment—including therapy, medication management, skill‑building, and family involvement—to stabilize their mental health and prepare for a successful return home, school, and community. Staff are part of a collaborative, multidisciplinary team dedicated to delivering compassionate, evidence‑based care that helps youth and families navigate crises and build a foundation for long‑term recovery. More Than Just Care, It’s Community Imagine doing meaningful work in a place where people vacation. That’s life at Munson Healthcare - northern Michigan’s largest healthcare system, with eight award-winning community hospitals serving over half a million residents across 29 counties. If you want a career in healthcare and a lifestyle most people only dream about – with freshwater lakes, scenic trails, charming downtowns, a vibrant arts scene, and endless outdoor adventures - you might just be Munson Material. To us, that means teammates who live by our values of excellence, teamness, positivity, creativity, and a commitment to creating exceptional experiences for our patients and each other. Join a team that delivers outstanding care in one of the most beautiful regions in the country.
