At Burlington United Methodist Family Services, we understand the transformative power of hope and healing. Guided by a century-long dedication to nurturing families and individuals through difficult times, our team members embody empathy and positively influence the lives of those we serve. The role of a Treatment Associate within our agency is particularly crucial, acting as a source of unwavering support and guidance for children who have faced the inconceivable.
The Many Faces of a Treatment Associate
These individuals are not just staff members; they embody various roles. They are the comforting presence of a mother, the protective stance of a father, the wisdom of an aunt, the care of a nurse, and the insight of a counselor. The dedication to providing everything necessary to support the emotional, physical, and mental well-being of children in need is nothing short of heroic.
Treatment Associates use positive language, bolstering every child with affirmations that foster self-worth and confidence. With a language crafted from compassion and understanding, they build up the very foundations that trauma might have shaken in the lives of the young ones they care for. But it’s not just about being a beacon of kindness and nurture; these staff members are also instrumental in teaching the children about accountability and the distinctions between right and wrong.
A Reciprocal Journey of Growth
Understanding the behaviors of children through the lens of their past trauma, Treatment Associates guide them with patience and purpose. They are there, steady and reliable, helping with homework, sharing meals, organizing vacations and outings, and leading support programs. Their comprehensive approach is designed to steer these children towards a path of positive development and social integration.
Beyond the challenges lies a profound opportunity to drive change for those considering a role as a Treatment Associate. Every day, you are presented with instances to mold a young life, to be the pivotal difference that propels a child towards success and happiness. Likewise, these children offer back life lessons that broaden perspectives and enrich the lives of the staff, making it a reciprocal journey of growth and understanding.

Being part of the Burlington family means more than just employment; it embodies a commitment to collective strength, even through the toughest of times. Teamwork is authentic, supportive, and unwavering when working with us. Professional development is not a mere prospect but an actively pursued pathway with numerous opportunities for career advancement within the organization.
The reality is many children find their way into our care through paths marked by neglect or state mandates following traumatic events.
