CARE provides two+ monthly Grand Round Trainings by internal, local, and national experts. These live high-quality trainings are available to all clinical team members and approved for 25+ continuing education hours (CEs) annually.

At CARE, we understand the importance of continuous improvement and personal growth. That’s why we offer consistent monthly clinical feedback as a unique employee benefit. We believe that regular, constructive feedback is instrumental in helping our team members reach their full potential while also ensuring exceptional clinical care. Through monthly feedback sessions, clinicians have the opportunity to receive guidance, celebrate their accomplishments, and constructive suggestions for improvement in a timely manner. This approach not only enhances job satisfaction but also empowers our team members to make immediate adjustments and excel in their roles.
Our DEI Team continues to focus and refine internal training on responsiveness, cultural considerations, intersectionality, pluralism, and identity across all departments. One example of our DEI initiatives include monthly Lunch-n-Learns to promote growth, learning, belonging, and increased humility across the team. CARE More is a non-profit community DEI initiative created by CARE Counseling for the purpose of creating systemic change within the mental health community.

Merit-based raises are a valuable employee benefit at CARE. We believe in recognizing and rewarding exceptional performance, and our merit-based raise system is a testament to that commitment. Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we evaluate each employee’s contributions, skills, and achievements, and those who consistently excel in their roles receive salary increases commensurate with their performance.
CARE provides a comprehensive PTO (Paid Time Off) benefits package for both full-time and part-time employees. At CARE, we understand the importance of work-life balance and recognize that employees have diverse needs. Full-time employees are entitled to a PTO allowance, which includes paid vacation days, personal days, and holidays, allowing them to recharge, spend time with loved ones, and take care of personal matters. Part-time employees also have access to PTO benefits, albeit on a pro-rated basis.
