Why Work at SBHG

Why Stars Behavioral Health Group is a great place to work

Because we are a large, stable company that has been around since 1988, we offer our employees opportunities for learning, developing collegial relationships, developing skills, employing innovative ideas, and becoming the best in their field.  SBHG is nationally accredited by The Joint Commission (TJC) and has won multiple honors, commendations of excellence, and awards, including the LA Business Journal “Healthcare Leadership Award.”

Employees also appreciate our robust training programs and our experience with evidence-based practices.  The Stars Training Academy trains in 32 states and internationally, and many of its programs are available to employees. 

And we can’t forget to mention our benefits.  We cover health insurance costs for employees, we provide a favorable 401(k) retirement plan with matching company contribution, and we’re also an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) which means our employees are beneficial owners of the company.* Read more about employee benefits.
