Our emphasis on integrated care improves communication, opportunity, and outcomes for our clients, their families and our community.
Last year, Talbert House served over 26,000 clients with an additional 134,000 receiving prevention and hotline services. As the needs of our community grow, our programs continue to expand each year. Our program teams continues to expand as well. Our teams include a highly diverse and extensive number of professional roles for both entry level and experienced professionals looking to serve others and make a difference in our community. Our workplaces are dynamic, engaging, client-centric and highly collaborative.
The Talbert House philosophy of workplace culture aligns with our mission, vision and values – we are committed to building a workplace that empowers staff at every level to lead healthy, safe and productive lives within a caring community that believes in learning and growth. We strive to provide a great place for people to learn, grow and contribute through their life’s work by creating a workplace culture where all people feel:
1. Valued for their work and unique gifts,

Testimonials“I started as an admin in the Wilmington office in July 2018 while I worked to get my Bachelor’s in social work. Once I completed my degree I tested for and obtained my LSW and began the transition from administrative specialist to Clinical Counselor at the three Warren County Outpatient sites, Franklin, Lebanon, and Wilmington. I enjoy working at Talbert House because it feels like the people have a real passion for this population. We have such a high need for services in this area for substance use and mental health that it feels great to be a part of an agency that feels like it cares all the way from the CEO reaching out in person to help and to the clinicians, case workers, and administrative staff with their “boots on the ground” to help each client get the help that they need."
- Debra Frump, Clinical Counselor
"This has been one of the most rewarding years of my professional career. I feel extremely blessed and fortunate to get to work every day with genuinely great people while having a positive impact on our community."
-Alex Rulon, Associate Director
“The work I do excites me. It reminds me that it does not matter how many times someone may fall or stumble, it is about how they get back up and try again. I get to witness individuals on a daily basis get up and try again. I enjoy helping others change their behavioral patterns so they can be successful in their attempt to lead healthy and productive lives.”
-James Woodson, ASM
"My favorite part about working at Talbert House has been working with therapists and enabling them to enable change. I enjoy seeing their growth. Coming in being a novice, fresh out of school with limited experience, I enjoy watching them grow - thinking and gaining confidence in skill." "My advice is: you have to be flexible. There have been so many different changes all through the system. Even the way therapists or case managers would have approached a client is different today. Now we look at so many more dimensions. Change - if you're going into this field, you have to be able to adapt to change."
-Judy Richardson, Supervisor (Adult Behavioral Health)
