Job Description | Program Overview: MCOT services are community-based and available 24 hours per day, every day of the year. The Crisis Clinician utilizes the most effective, least restrictive approaches and evidenced-based interventions until the crisis is resolved or the individual is transitioned into a more clinically appropriate environment. Our Vision is Healthy and Fulfilled Lives, and MCOT provides expedited access to care in critical situations, as an essential mobile provider of crisis services for children, adolescents, and adults experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The MCOT case manager dispatches to the location of the individual experiencing a behavioral health crisis, including schools, emergency rooms, homes, and BTCS clinics, to provide crisis intervention, screening, referral, relapse prevention, and follow-up services. Our Mission is to continuously improve the health and independence of the person we serve, and in addition to ready access to care in the time of crisis, MCOT also provides follow-up services which may include case management, individual and group skills training, Person-Centered Recovery Planning, supported housing/employment, discharge planning and linkage to ongoing services. Critical Impact: Within the crisis continuum, the MCOT Crisis Clinician responds when called upon to support emergent and urgent crisis needs. Leveraging skills in de-escalation and safety planning, MCOT works collaboratively with the individual in crisis to assess the need and develop a plan for next steps.
