POSITION OVERVIEW
This position is employed by Cal Voices, but serves as a member of the Mobile Crisis Team (MCT) integrated team with Children’s System of Care and Adult System of Care (CSOC). Other team members include, Health and Human Services and other community provider partners. Under the supervision of Cal Voices’ CSOC Program Manager and Supervisor, this position partners with Placer County Children’s System of Care and Health and Human Services, and other local behavioral health and social services providers in providing crisis response to youth, adults and families. Upon arrival, MCT Family Advocates, together with HHS Client Service Practitioners, respond to family, adult and child crises in the community emphasizing response to transitional age youth 25 and younger. Response locations shall include family homes, schools, and other environments as requested through the triaged Placer County crisis line. Teams may be accompanied by Law Enforcement when safety concerns are identified. MCT Family Advocates work with youth, adults, and families to mitigate the crisis in order to prevent the need for a psychiatric hold or removal from the family environment. The Family Advocate shall primarily work with family members to offer support and education regarding youth, adult and family crises. Once the crisis has been stabilized, the team provides follow up support to ensure families are adequately linked to services and community resources to prevent future crises. The MCT Family Advocate works 7.5 hours from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm (Rocklin) or 10:30 am to 7:00 pm (Auburn) five days a week; hours may change to accommodate program needs.
