JOB DEFINITION:
The COAT (Community Outreach and Advocacy Team) program is a multi-disciplinary team responsible for providing outreach, engagement, intensive case management and behavioral health services to adults involved in the criminal legal system. The primary responsibilities of the COAT Mental Health Therapist are to provide evidence based therapeutic services, conduct screening and intakes into the program, and support the team in crisis support and clinical risk assessment.
The COAT model uses a modified assertive community treatment (ACT) approach with caseloads of 1:20, and companion-based services to ensure people are assessed, supported, and accompanied to services or appointments indicated. The team consists of behavioral health staff (including case managers, an SUD specialist and a certified Peer), a psychiatric prescriber, a psychiatric registered nurse, and an occupational therapist, all of whom will provide services with an intensive outreach and client-centered approach. The population served includes people who experience a combination of homelessness, substance use disorders, and severe and persistent mental illness.
Services will be provided in Seattle and King County areas. Many services will be provided on the streets, in shelters and other service centers as assigned. This position requires a high degree of coordination and collaboration with other DESC programs as well as outside agencies, COAT works closely with the Law Enforcement Assisted Diversion (LEAD) program and the Public Defender's Association.
