Company Overview

Mental Health Resource Center is a not-for-profit Florida corporation that provides a wide range of mental health and behavioral health care services to the community such as 24-hour emergency services, inpatient psychiatric services for children, adolescents, and adults as well as outpatient services such as medication management, case management, and counseling.

Job Summary

This is an ideal opportunity for an individual who enjoys working in a team atmosphere and is dedicated to providing both behavioral health care and social services to the individuals we serve in the community.

The FACT Program is a multi-disciplinary, clinical team that assumes responsibility for directly providing needed treatment, rehabilitation, and support services to adult persons with severe and persistent mental illness promoting recovery, empowerment, self-determination, and decision-making for each FACT participant.

Some of the responsibilities of the FACT team include providing clinical and supportive services through advocacy, crisis intervention, assessments, evaluations, treatment planning, case management, and medication management. Participants are also provided with community referrals, symptom education, work-related vocational and educational services, social and interpersonal relationship training, and support for the participants’ families and caregivers.

Most of a FACT team member's day is spent in the community completing many of the above duties. Only about 15% of their time is spent in the office. Company vehicles are available, however, members of the FACT team also need to use their personal vehicles to provide services and are eligible for reimbursement for mileage.

The FACT team operates both during and after normal business hours, rotates holiday and weekend responsibilities, and team members rotate carrying an emergency on-call cell phone.

• Coordinates referrals to community providers and support services
• Provides assistance with activities of daily living, transportation, communication, social and interpersonal relationship skills
• Provides education related to symptoms, medications, and mental health issues
• Conducts individual and group therapy sessions on a variety of topics
• Serves as a primary case manager for an assigned group of individuals and promotes recovery, empowerment, self-determination, and decision-making for each FACT participant

Qualifications

• Master’s degree in Human Services or related field
• Experience with adults with severe and persistent mental illness (e.g., schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder) is required
• Experience with DBT therapy techniques preferred
• Driver requirements include a valid Florida Driver's License, automobile insurance coverage equal to or exceeding 50,000/100,000/50,000, and no more than eight points on license
• The position involves interaction with persons who have a serious and persistent mental illness in various settings
