This program supports parents and families across Abilene and the 30 counties of HHSC Region 2 who are at risk for substance use disorders—especially parents expecting a child or raising children under six years of age, including those involved with the Department of Family and Protective Services (DFPS).

As a Clinical Case Manager, you’ll provide trauma-informed, family-centered services that help parents build healthier lifestyles, nurture stronger bonds with their children, and access the resources they need for lasting recovery.

• Provide screenings, assessments, and referrals for individuals and families at risk of substance use disorders.
• Deliver parenting education (Nurturing Parenting curriculum), Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD) awareness, reproductive health, STI/HIV prevention, and conflict resolution training.
• Offer trauma-informed motivational counseling, service planning, case management, and follow-ups.
• Conduct home visits and provide transportation assistance as needed.
• Advocate for DFPS-involved clients by attending case conferences and court hearings.
• Maintain accurate and confidential case files, documenting services, referrals, and client progress.
• Build partnerships by representing PADRES at community meetings and events.
• Present public education sessions on substance use, recovery, parenting, reproductive health, and prevention topics.
• Participate in ongoing professional training and continuing education (all training costs covered by the Council).
• Maintain the highest standards of ethics, professionalism, and client care.

What You Bring

• Required: Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC) or LCDC-Intern.
• Strong communication and advocacy skills, with the ability to engage families in a respectful, non-judgmental way.
• Knowledge of prevention, intervention, and recovery techniques, as well as substance use and addiction trends.
• Ability to collaborate with community partners, DFPS, and other agencies.
• Reliable transportation for travel to outreach locations (1–2 times per week).
• Flexibility to occasionally work evenings or weekends (with flex time provided).
• Commitment to a trauma-informed, family-centered, and strengths-based approach.
