Careers
Our Organization
Touchstone Mental Health is a Minneapolis-based, non-profit center of excellence dedicated to creating innovative, person-centered care for individuals whose lives are affected by mental illness. We began working with individuals with mental illness in 1982 when five social workers came together to open a residential treatment program, called Sentinel House. Since then, we have continued to expand our services with a unique focus on whole person wellness. We now support several programs across the metro region, including Residential Treatment Services, Crisis Stabilization, Intensive and Targeted Case Management, Intentional Communities, Care Coordination, Behavioral Health Home, Housing Innovation programs and a Fitness Center.
Touchstone Mental Health is an Equal Opportunity Employer and will consider applicants for employment regardless of their race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, disability, age, marital status, or status with regard to public assistance. Individuals from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
