I’m launching a comprehensive community initiative aimed at children and adolescents that blends clinical expertise with relatable mentorship. I need a licensed nurse who can take the lead in two key areas: 1. Emotional Support • Offer one-on-one and small-group mental health counseling, both on-site and via secure telehealth platforms. • Identify early signs of anxiety, depression, or trauma and create individualized care plans in collaboration with school counselors and parents. 2. Education & Prevention • Design and deliver an evidence-based bullying prevention program—interactive workshops, role-playing scenarios, and take-home resources that resonate with students aged 8-18. • Produce engaging educational materials (slides, handouts, videos) that simplify complex health topics and encourage peer support. Scope of work • Build a semester-long curriculum with clear learning objectives, session outlines, and evaluation metrics. • Coordinate scheduling with local schools, youth centers, and parent associations. • Train teachers and volunteer aides to reinforce best practices between nursing visits. • Track outcomes (attendance, wellbeing surveys, incident reports) and present quarterly progress reports with data-driven recommendations for refinement. Success criteria • Program ready to deploy within eight weeks of contract start. • Minimum of four counseling hours and one workshop delivered weekly during the pilot phase. • Demonstrated improvement in participant self-reported wellbeing and reduction in bullying incidents by end of pilot. Required background • Active nursing license with pediatric or adolescent focus. • Formal training in mental health counseling; certification in trauma-informed care is a plus. • Experience designing community health programs and comfort with modern e-learning tools (e.g., Zoom, Canva, Google Classroom). If you’re passionate about empowering young people through compassionate, evidence-based care, I’d love to work together.
