Careers at Turning Point

Empowered to say yes

Turning Point clients use words like “kind,” “compassionate,” “caring,” “dedicated,” “like family” when they talk about the team members they interact with at Turning Point. Many of them also say they’ve recommended Turning Point to a friend, a family member, or a colleague.

Expertise and Professionalism

Peers and other professionals—social workers, teachers, medical professionals, law enforcement officials, government agencies—who refer individuals to Turning Point remark on our team members’ expertise and professionalism, their commitment to each client’s recovery, and their deep sense of duty and conscience.

Diversity and Inclusion

In both our hiring and staff development practices, we emphasize these qualities. We nurture them through our commitment to diversity and inclusion, making sure that everyone— from the clinical and medical staff to the management and administrative team—feels listened to, valued, and respected.

Rewarding Relationships

We’re candid and transparent in all our relationships. In our dealings with each other, our clients, and our referrers and collaborators, we’re considerate, thoughtful, and empathic.

Most importantly, we empower our team members to say yes—to use their skills and knowledge in the best interest of each client and to improve the quality of life for them, their families, and our entire community in every way we can.
