Description

The Center for Urban Community Services, a national leader in the development of effective housing and service initiative for homeless people, invites applications for a Mental Health Clinician position at its Intensive Mobile Treatment (IMT) program.

The Intensive Mobile Treatment Team will work with individuals that move frequently across the behavioral health care system (outpatient and inpatient), the homeless services system (shelter, street, Safe Haven), and the criminal justice system (jail, probation, parole), and have barriers to engage in the services they need.

In January 2016, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) launched a demonstra tion project to achieve better outcomes for people with involvement with the homeless services, criminal justice, and the behavioral health service systems. Three Intensive Mobile Treatment (IMT) teams were developed specifically to serve persons with complex cross-systems involvement.

IMT teams are hired, trained and funded to maximize flexibility and continuity of care for people who were poorly served by more traditional service models.

The mission of IMT is to improve an individual’s quality of life through counseling, advocacy (both on an individual and systems level), support and assistance with meeting one’s individual needs and goals, and most importantly, by providing an opportunity to connect with a diverse team of service providers. IMT teams work with individuals regardless of their current or past experience with substance use, mental health concerns, physical health concerns, involvement with the criminal justice system, and/or history of violence. IMT teams stay connected to individuals regardless of their location in shelter, on the street, in housing, hospital or jail.
