firsthand is changing the way individuals living with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) get care – by putting them at the center of everything we do. Our peer led model aims to build trust with these individuals, many of whom have been underserved, stigmatized, deprioritized and have very often lost trust in the systems intended to serve them. Our holistic approach includes partnering with our team of peer recovery specialists, licensed social workers and nurse practitioners, and focuses on meeting them where they are and walking with them side by side, as a trusted guide, partner, and first call, on their journeys’ to wellness.
Our aim is to not only improve lives, but also improve the economics for managed care plans and states responsible for providing care to this community. This enables us to build solutions that scale and, as a result, change the way our society supports those most impacted by SMI.
We are building a team of deeply passionate problem-solvers who are courageous enough to take on one of the country’s most challenging healthcare problems. Those who are up for the task will be rewarded with deeply mission-oriented workdays, mentorship from a similarly motivated team, and a supportive culture that prioritizes learning, creativity, and fun.
The Community Resources Guide (CRG) is responsible for linking newly engaged individuals with serious mental illness to community-based supportive services in order to address social determinants of health and support their overall wellness. The CRG will do this by working with peer recovery specialists (firsthand Guides) to empower individuals to identify and achieve their own recovery goals. Supportive services may include rental/utility assistance, access to food or pantries, Social Security benefits, primary care, or community behavioral health services.
The CRG must be able to work in the community, meeting individuals where they are, and be comfortable working in non-traditional settings and unstructured environments. Experience assisting individuals with Social Security benefits enrollment, including SSI/SSDI Outreach, Access, and Recovery (SOAR) certification, is highly preferred.
