CReW (Counseling, Recovery and Wellness) Program
The CReW (Counseling, Recovery and Wellness) Program is a licensed outpatient mental health and substance-use counseling program under the King County Integrated Care Network (KCICN). Our purpose is to assist adults living with mental health and substance use disorders to improve their quality of life through integrative, person-centered counseling services. We believe in providing a continuity of care, helping clients set and achieve personal goals through low-barrier creative approaches, and recognizing that people make changes at their own unique pace.
At CReW, we strive to meet people where it's most convenient for them, in a variety of accessible settings, including telehealth and in person support at our offices located in Seattle, Kirkland, Federal Way and Kent.

Homeless Outreach Services (South King County)
In partnership with the Seattle King County Public Health Department and the HealthCare for the Homeless Network, the Homeless Outreach team provides support to homeless adults in South King County and to Families in Shelter throughout the County. Outreach Specialists offer community-based outreach and engagement services to people living in homelessness, mainly in Federal Way, Kent, Burien, Renton, Kirkland and Tukwila. Outreach Specialists will meet people literally where they are at and assist with identifying needed resources and make linkages for housing, health care, and benefits wherever possible.
Services are prioritized for people who have had frequent inpatient hospitalizations and/or incarcerations over the last year. Staff work to identify the needs of individuals and provide information and referrals to needed services such as housing, inpatient substance use treatment, and long-term behavioral health counseling.

Employment:
CReW offers a number of internship placements for students earning a master's degree in social work, counseling or related fields. CReW supervisors are able to provide hours towards licensure supervision for LSWAICs, LMHCAs, LMFTs, and SUDPTs.
Our Program and agency missions strive to enable and support all efforts to become aware of and eliminate racism and racist behaviors within CCS and the broader community. CReW staff will not tolerate attitudes, behaviors, or statements that alienate, offend, or injure any person associated with CCS because of their racial or ethnic origin. We will take exceptional steps to identify and root out such biases, especially where there appear to be long-standing, institutional patterns of unacceptable behavior or lack of performance.
