Who they are
You would be walking into outpatient and community behavioral health work at a Middletown nonprofit that has served Newport County since 1964. The day-to-day is trauma-informed care for children, adolescents, families, and adults dealing with mental illness, substance use, or stress—not a med-surg floor, but real crisis and recovery work in the community.

More about Newport Mental Health
A recent Mobile Crisis Clinician per-diem posting open to a licensed registered nurse states $38.19 an hour. Some people who have worked here talk about amazing co-workers and a bit of schedule flexibility; the same voices also flag high caseloads (up to 50), pay that feels low for the load, and frustration with upper management. Middletown sits mid-Aquidneck Island between Portsmouth and Newport, so the drive into Newport is only a few minutes and beaches and local errands stay close. If you want community mental health work with a clear hourly number and you can live with the caseload and leadership questions others have raised, this is a concrete place to weigh.
Improve lives of children, adults, and families in Newport County through recovery-oriented, integrated mental health and substance use care.
