The primary goal of our Mobile Crisis Team is to lessen trauma, divert from emergency departments or the criminal justice system, and prevent unnecessary psychiatric hospitalizations. This position will support clients and community members that are in crisis to maintain safety, access services, and connect to appropriate care. This position will partner with team members to co respond in the community, while also providing follow up via phone for check ins and assisting clients in accessing resources needed.

This role is part of the Certified Community Behavioral Health Centers (CCBHC) grant that A&C was awarded to expand and enhance behavioral health services in Marion and Johnson Counties. With this grant, A&C will implement more comprehensive mental, and substance use treatment by adopting CCBHC service standards-an integrated and financially sustainable model for care delivery. Target populations for CCBHC services include individuals with serious mental health or addiction, including opioid disorders; children and adolescents with serious emotional disturbance; and individuals with co-occurring physical health disorders. CCBHCs provide person and family-centered services to any individual in need, regardless of their ability to pay or their place of residence.
