Job description

We are working together to achieve excellent health. Come join us! The Yukon-Kuskokwim Health Corporation is a Tribal health care organization, serving nearly 30,000 people living across rural, southwest Alaska in villages with populations from about 10 to more than 1,000.

The Yukon-Kuskokwim Delta is home to thousands of lakes and two primary rivers—the Kuskokwim and Yukon. We offer a broad range of employment opportunities and the chance to make a meaningful impact on the health of people in the region.

Position Summary

ACT is an acronym for “Access to Collaborative Treatment.” Collaborative treatment refers to a model of care in which primary care providers and mental health providers collaborate to deliver the most effective services for a variety of mental and emotional disturbances. These disturbances include but are not limited to trauma, depression, and anxiety. ACT takes a trauma informed, strengths-based, and person-centered approach to clients, recognizing the effects of numerous environmental factors that prevent people from living safe and healthy lives. ACT uses evidenced-based interventions including, but not limited to, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. The ACT Clinician educates clients about various mental health concerns and the indicated interventions. The ACT Clinician seeks to enhance the capacity of clients to address their own needs. The ACT program provides screening, crisis intervention, short-term therapy services, and appropriate referrals as needed.

The ACT Program Manager attends Outpatient Clinic and other interdepartmental meetings, supervises the ACT clinicians, and manages their time in the Kronos time keeping system.
