Oasis Ascent is a short-term residential treatment program for teenagers located in Provo, Utah. The families we serve are in crisis and need support keeping their children safe right now. At Oasis Ascent, we provide thorough assessment, around-the-clock secure care, and intensive support to young men. We are a safe setting for adolescents to stabilize while they and their families meet with licensed clinicians to determine the underlying causes of distress and what next steps make the most sense for their needs.
Our students struggle with emotional, behavioral, and substance use disorders. As a youth mentor, you will create a safe and supervised environment for our students to heal and grow in. Through working with Oasis Ascent, you will gain experience in the behavioral and mental health fields and in working with teenagers. And most importantly, you will help heal families and save lives through the relationships you form.
Developing and maintaining authentic, appropriate relationships with clear, healthy boundaries is as essential to your success as a youth mentor as it is to the progress of our students. A youth mentor must be patient, kind, vigilant, emotionally mature, and able to empower and inspire hope in the students with whom they work. As part an integrated care approach, youth mentors will work closely with therapists to ensure we are providing consistent, effective, and appropriate care across departments.
If you want to help teenagers create lasting, positive change, then Oasis Ascent is the right team for you. The relationships formed with youth mentors are the most meaningful to our students and the foundation for true growth and healing. Come see for yourself.
Help families find the road to healing. Join the Oasis Ascent team.
