Intake Clinician (Pm/Weekend Schedule)

The Priority Center is seeking a full-time Intake Clinician for its Adult In-Home Crisis Stabilization Program (AIHCS). Our mission is to deliver life-changing programs to assist people in crisis by giving them the tools and support necessary to end the generational cycle of trauma- including prevention of child abuse and neglect, through early intervention and mental health services and advocacy.

**The Priority Center also offers a 9/80 work week schedule which allows for one day off every two weeks (equivalent to having an additional 26 days off per year!)**

The Adult In-Home Crisis Stabilization Program (AIHCS) serves suicidal and homicidal adults who can’t be hospitalized, in order to diffuse the crisis, promote a healthy lifestyle and prevent suicidal and homicidal acts. This program has a field-based treatment team consisting of clinicians, case managers and peer mentors. The program is a three-phase model:

• Assessment of the client and support network to identify short term needs and de-escalation
• Individual and family therapy, outreach, peer mentor, and case management services
• Prepare client and family/support network for progression towards long term resolution and treatment.

The PM/WeekendIntake Clinician serves as a liaison between adults/families and systems, and provides intake and assessment services depending on the needs and expectations of each adult in the AIHCS program of The Priority Center.
