Crisis Therapists are responsible to provide crisis intervention and intensive case management services to adults with serious mental illness and/or co-occurring substance use disorders who are 18 years of age and older and are at risk for psychiatric hospitalization, those who have already been admitted to inpatient psychiatric facilities and those who have demonstrated a high risk for readmission or repeated use of emergency psychiatric services. Crisis Therapists are responsible to conduct thorough and comprehensive assessments for adults who are at risk for psychiatric admission in order to accurately identify their service needs and preferences. They work to deescalate the immediate crisis, facilitate engagement in treatment and recovery support services, and prevent the need for higher levels of care. Crisis Therapists must maintain an acute awareness of services, therapeutic activities and supports available within and outside of the agency that may be of benefit to individuals and their families. They are responsible to help ensure access to services, benefits and entitlements, monitor and coordinate the delivery of services with other treatment team members, service providers and community organizations. Advocacy efforts include community outreach and transportation assistance as needed.

Crisis Therapists are also responsible to provide screening, assessment and crisis intervention services via telehealth for adult members of the community who experience mental health emergencies. They determine the appropriate level of care and services needed, and the least restrictive setting in which those services can be provided. Crisis Therapists are required to be available via tablet and/or telephone for calls that are referred for screening and intervention by local police departments that have established business agreements with The Guidance Center. They must be available to respond immediately to crisis calls during scheduled on-call hours. Crisis screening services will be available 24 hours each day, including holidays and weekends. Crisis Therapists will share on-call responsibilities during business hours with other ABH team members and will assist with after-hours on-call coverage on a volunteer basis as their individual schedules allow. Regular working hours are Monday thru Thursday 8:30 am to 7 pm and Friday 8:30 to 5 pm. Some evening and/or weekend hours may be required.
