Comfort working with adults experiencing psychosis, mood disorders, co-occurring substance use, repeated hospitalization, homelessness, or other significant community challenges.

Ability to learn and use an electronic health record and complete required documentation.
Ability to travel throughout the Richmond area and meet clients in homes and community settings.
Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation.
