We operate on weekly sessions and staff have Fri. night to Sun. morning off. Staff also gets 2 hours of time off a day. The head of each unit figures out time off for those in her unit. This works well because everyone can figure out time off that works for them rather than being assigned time off.
Don't know if this helps or not, but thought I'd share how it works where I am.
You may also want to post this on the counselor's board because there are tons of people on there that may be able to help.
