Behavioral Health Clinician

Sacramento Superior Court

<div><div><div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Description</h2></div>
<div>Definition
Under general supervision, within Family Court, the Child Custody Recommending Counselor provides mediation and recommending counseling to parties when custody and visitation are in dispute, as required by California Law. Mediation focuses on reducing acrimony between the parties; developing an agreement between the parties that ensures close, continuing and safe contact between the child and both parties; and, supporting the parties in developing a plan as to how they will share time with the child. Mediators provide confidential mediation, conduct focused interviews and provide recommending counseling/mediation.
Distinguishing Characteristics 
When not all issues are resolved during a given mediation, the mediator makes custody and visitation recommendations for the Court&rsquo;s consideration when making Orders. As needed, recommendations may be offered on issues of legal custody; when and how much time the child will spend with each parent or party, including holidays and school vacations; and, when, where, and how the child will move between households. 
 
Mediators do not make parenting decisions, yet may need to determine which parent is best able to make reasoned, informed, and child-focused decisions when the parents are unable to agree. 
While Mediators possess an educational and/or experiential background in mental health fields, and do, at times, provide crisis and co-parenting intervention, the position does not involve therapy or a focus on &lsquo;fixing&rsquo; parties. At all times, the focus remains on the child&rsquo;s best interests. 
 
This is an experienced professional classification. Incumbents work independently, are fully aware of the operating practices and procedures of the unit, and receive occasional instruction or assistance.</div>
<div><h2 class="jobSectionHeader">Examples of Duties</h2></div>
<div>Duties may include, but are not limited to the following:
1. Provides mediation on a variety of issues related to disputed child custody and visitation with the goal of facilitating the development of a plan that is in the best interests of the child.
2. Prepares for upcoming mediations which may include reviewing available court documents that resulted in and relate to the given mediation appointment; reviewing the court file; conducting criminal history background checks; and, gathering case history records from Child Protective Services (CPS).
3. Utilizes interview assessment and screening techniques that are consistent with generally accepted clinical, forensic, scientific, diagnostic or medical standards.
4. Investigates and evaluates cases by interviewing parties and their child, reviewing psychological data and assessing potential risks of physical and sexual abuse, drug and alcohol abuse, criminal history, domestic violence and related factors.
5. Conducts collateral interviews after the mediation appointment with such sources as CPS, Probation, Law Enforcement or other professionals.
6. Prepares and organizes information collected and makes recommendations to the court regarding guardian/custodial arrangements in the best interest of the child.
7. Writes reports which includes integrating all relevant case information into a concise report of the parent&rsquo;s full or partial agreement, as well as a clear explanation of those foundational factors to recommendations made on issues still in dispute.
8. Prepares a wide variety of reports and correspondence.
9. Testifies at trial and depositions.
10. Conducts case consultation with colleagues and supervisor and receives feedback.
11. Conducts emergency mediations when the Court has determined there is imminent risk of harm to a child requiring very quick turn-around of the resulting report; makes mandated reports of suspected abuse.
12. Conducts mediations in the context of a Guardianship case heard in Probate Court, Grandparent Visitation in a Family Law Case, and Confidential Mediation (with no attached hearing and no report) in either Probate or Family Law.
