Description
RBH is now offering sign-on bonus opportunities for qualifying
professionals!
Richmond Behavioral Health (RBH) is seeking to hire a dynamic
Community Focus Team (CFT) Clinician to join our team!
Richmond Behavioral Health, in partnership with the Richmond Police
Department (RPD) is developing a team to support a collaborative
effort by public safety officials and service providers to identify
high utilizers of emergency services who may have a significant
behavioral health issue that contributes to frequent need for those
services. The Community Focus Team (CFT) in Richmond, VA will
connect these individuals with treatment and support to promote
recovery and through these efforts reduce the risk of harm to these
individuals and to public safety. In spite of a comprehensive array
of criminal justice/behavioral health initiatives along the
Sequential Intercept continuum in Richmond, there remains a
significant contingent of individuals who are not successfully
engaged in treatment and support services, leading to high, often
unnecessary utilization of emergency services. The proposed CRT
project will address the needs of these individuals. The CRT will
routinely review the frequency of emergency service/public safety
calls and evaluate those with higher-than-average frequency for
unmet needs. Such needs might include non-emergent medical, mental
health, substance abuse, social, financial, or mobility-related
concerns.
The Community Focus Team (CFT) consists of a partnership between
mental health emergency service providers and the Richmond
Behavioral Health Authority (RBHA). The CFT supports an overall
effort to expand specialized behavioral health strategies tailored
to meet the needs of people with behavioral/mental health concerns
in the Richmond community. The CFT aims to reduce the number of
people with mental health issues in the jail system; to improve
information sharing and coordination, as appropriate, across
systems and service providers; and to reduce overall costs relating
to people with mental or behavioral health concerns, including the
use of emergency services. Clinicians will work in close
partnership with first responders, responding to calls involving
people who suffer from mental illness and/or co-occurring substance
use disorders. Clinicians will assist people in crisis and provide
the most effective services for resolution. Clinicians will
collaborate to provide treatment in a format that best decreases
current stressors and replaces them with long term community-based
supports. CFT will also help identify community resources,
alternative treatment options, and long-term community supports in
any area identified by the individual.
