The Bilingual Pediatric Psychologist will :

The role of the Bilingual (Spanish / English) Pediatric Psychologist is conceptualized as including two tiers of functioning.

• The first level of service will focus on provision of supervised services to clients of the Central New Jersey Regional Child Protection Center. These services include assessment of children and their families impacted by child abuse and neglect, direct intervention (short term therapy, group therapy, crisis intervention); consultation to the Department of Pediatrics (working with nurses, physicians, and social workers); participating in team meeting; grand rounds; teaching / training, in-service training for residents and nursing students; presentations at conferences; and participating in program committees.
• The second level of service focuses on broader needs of the region and the provision of consultation to the community. This includes consultation to physicians, social service, and nursing staff at all medical centers in our catchment area (Middlesex, Union, Somerset, Ocean, Monmouth, Hunterdon, Somerset, and Mercer Counties). Similarly, consultation is provided to all child protection service agencies (i.e., Department of Child Protection and Permanency) in the region.
• In addition, the Diagnostic Center strives to develop programs that can be shared with the other three regional diagnostic centers in the state, other social service agencies, schools, police, prosecutors, Multidisciplinary Teams, and the judicial system. As the region includes several counties in Central New Jersey and our goal is to provide service to as much of the region as possible, it is expected that the clinician who fills this position will travel to outlying program sites and help develop outreach centers throughout the region. This will include consultation, assessment, and treatment services in satellite centers.
