Forensic Assertive Community Treatment - Therapist - Full-time - $5K Sign-on

Description

Forensic assertive community treatment (FACT) is a service delivery model intended for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) who are involved with the criminal justice system. These individuals may have co-occurring substance use and physical health disorders. Their needs are often complex, and their disorders are often under-managed and further complicated by varying degrees of involvement with the criminal justice system. FACT builds on the evidence-based assertive community treatment (ACT) model by making adaptations based on criminal justice issues-in particular, addressing criminogenic risks and needs. In this sense, FACT is an intervention that bridges the behavioral health and criminal justice systems. This position will work specifically with individuals involved in the 18th and 23rd judicial districts.

• Must hold at least a Master's Degree from an accredited graduate institution.
• Licensed or license eligible preferred.
• LAC or LAC eligible preferred.
