Work with a team that supports your professional development.
Peninsula Behavioral Health bases its personnel policies on an underlying philosophy focused upon respect for the dignity and individuality of each employee. Our team of 150+ employees works hard to provide quality comprehensive behavioral health services to the residents of our community.
We support the community and urge our employees to get involved. Clallam County is truly a unique and beautiful place with a fantastic, tight-knit local community.
We are active within the Washington Community Mental Health Council, which has a strong voice in our state’s capital by educating legislators and administrators and vigorously promoting funding for mental health services.
Despite our growth, many of those in leadership positions have worked their way up in the agency and understand the importance of remaining connected and accessible to staff. We still greet each other on a first name basis in the hallways!
Training is frequently offered on a variety of topics, and all-staff meetings are held quarterly to further promote information-sharing. We promote from within when and where possible.
All full-time staff are asked to participate in our Performance Improvement Process to further strengthen our organization and enhance the quality of our services.
