The University of Massachusetts Dartmouth (UMass Dartmouth) is slated to host an important recruitment event focusing on career opportunities within the region’s behavioral health sector. This initiative, scheduled for September 30, 2025, invites students particularly from the College of Nursing and Health Sciences and the College of Arts & Sciences to explore employment possibilities with Child & Family Services (CFS).
Child & Family Services is a prominent non-profit organization dedicated to enhancing the well-being of children and their families in the local community. With a mission centered on “healing and strengthening the lives of children and families,” CFS plays a critical role in delivering behavioral health services designed to address the diverse needs of vulnerable populations. This recruitment event aligns with the organization’s commitment to fostering a skilled workforce capable of making a significant impact in the realm of mental health and pediatric care.
Attendees can expect to engage with representatives from CFS, who will provide insights into various roles available within the organization. Opportunities are anticipated in direct care, community outreach, and specialized therapeutic services, making this event particularly relevant for students pursuing careers in psychology, counseling, social work, and nursing.
The event will be hosted in the Library Living Room Lobby, a central location on the UMass Dartmouth campus, facilitating convenient access for students. Information sessions will enlighten attendees on the qualifications required for different positions, as well as the application process.
The Career Center is available to provide additional support and resources, ensuring that students are well-prepared to take advantage of the opportunities presented by CFS. Students interested in exploring the available positions are encouraged to visit the event and take proactive steps toward building a fulfilling career in behavioral health.
With the ongoing emphasis on mental health, particularly in light of recent global challenges, this recruitment event underscores the urgent need for trained professionals equipped to support the mental and emotional well-being of families in Massachusetts. It presents an essential opportunity for students to connect with a leading organization poised to make a difference in their communities.
