“I have worked at Riverside/The Guidance Center for over six years. I really appreciate the open communication with management, opportunities for growth and development, and number of trainings in a variety of areas. I started as a Family Based Services Coordinator and was promoted to Assistant Program Manager, and then was able to switch from a counseling role into human resources – all in the same company!” - Kalyani Seth; Recruiter/Trainer, Human Resources and Staff Development
'I have worked at Riverside for 24 years, as I value the strong recovery orientation and commitment to the highest quality of care. Riverside is politically active and always willing to fight for important services. Riverside is a very dynamic organization that treats staff and consumers with compassion and respect. For me it is very fulfilling and exciting to be a part of Riverside.' - Carol Dubois; Program Director, Day Treatment at Norwood, Behavioral Health Services
“I came to Riverside as a Case Manager with the intention of staying for a few years. Fourteen years later, I am a director of a cluster of homes in DCD. Riverside is a great organization that is strongly committed to consumers and staff, and that has afforded me opportunities for growth and advancement in my profession.” - Sam Falaye; Director of Residential Services, Developmental and Cognitive Disabilities
"When I first began working for Riverside in 2007, and decided to pursue my master’s degree, I was given a flexible work schedule so that I could work and attend classes at the same time. Additionally, Riverside provided me with generous tuition reimbursement while I was in school. Then, when I graduated in 2010, Riverside promoted me to a management level position right away. It is such a good feeling to know that the organization that I work for is so invested in my professional growth." - Maggie Gravina; Clinical Coordinator/Respite Program, Behavioral Health Services
