What if your leadership could pioneer a program that saves people crisis?

For the past 50 years, we have been dedicated to helping runaway and homeless youth, victims of crime, people with mental illness and others in critical situations. Here at Common Ground, the people we serve come first. Our organization offers over 15 different programs that seamlessly work together to provide excellent, well-rounded help to those in need.

Common Ground is regarded as one of the top 10 comprehensive crisis providers in the country. In addition to being a leader in crisis services, the agency is involved in state-wide legislative and public policy crisis system advocacy, consulting, and is on a growth trajectory. ​

This year, we have had our eyes toward the future with the undertaking of the new MiCAL (Michigan Integrated Crisis & Access Line) service. We are excited about this new program and are looking for an ambitious, results-oriented, leader to become one of our new MiCAL Shift Supervisors. The ideal supervisor will have extensive experience in the crisis services/mental health field and people-focused leadership backed by a master-level clinical license.
