-
Provide short-term crisis stabilization follow-up as needed
-
Partner closely with local police departments, EMS, Community Health Centers, and other community-based providers
Who We're Looking For

-
Sound clinical judgment under pressure and strong de-escalation skills
-
Comfortable working independently and as part of a two-person field team
