Help Us Expand Access to Care — En Español y En Inglés
At Backpack Healthcare, we’re re-imagining mental health care for children, teens, and young adults. As a clinician-led, minority-owned organization, we believe that when clinicians thrive, kids thrive.
We are experiencing strong growth across Illinois — particularly among Spanish-speaking families — and we are actively seeking bilingual (English/Spanish) therapists who are passionate about reducing barriers to culturally responsive mental health care.
If you’re fluent in Spanish and committed to serving diverse communities, this is an opportunity to make a powerful and lasting impact.
Why Bilingual Clinicians Are Essential
Many of the families we serve prefer therapy in Spanish. Your language skills can:
- Increase access to care for underserved communities
- Strengthen trust and therapeutic rapport
- Support parents and caregivers more effectively
- Reduce stigma and cultural barriers to treatment
Bilingual clinicians are strongly preferred!
