Windhorse Integrative Mental Health

Northampton, Massachusetts,

United States

San Luis Obispo, California,

United States

Windhorse IMH uses a mindfulness-based philosophy in working with people experiencing extreme mind states, including depression, trauma, and mental illness in all its forms. Specific experience in this field is not required.

We are looking for compassionate housemates to live with persons in psychiatric recovery. This is an excellent opportunity to gain first-hand, intimate experience of individual recovery. It is a great learning opportunity for any human services field, but also of interest to artists, political activists, and humanists of all stripes.

Time commitment is approximately 25 hours per week, which includes approximately three hours per day with the client participating in keeping a household, shopping, cooking, cleaning, watching TV, going to shows, hiking, etc. There are also team and supervisory meetings. The household is supported by a strong clinical team that visits and meets in the home. Outside commitments to school or another job are a good thing, but should not exceed 25 or 30 hours per week. Pay includes room, board, and a monthly stipend.
