Join our expanding team to bring positive change to the community! Seeking clinicians (LMHP or LMHP-E) to be a part of the continuum of crisis services for the New River Valley Community Services Board. You will work in the community with our law enforcement partners in Montgomery County. This team serves individuals with serious mental illness in acute crisis who are high risk, in addition to those diagnosed with intellectual and developmental disorders, and substance use or co-occurring disorders.

Clinicians provide coverage on a Co-Response Team as they work in the field with law enforcement officers responding to 911 calls. You will assess, diagnose, provide crisis intervention services and determine the best next step for an individual. For those individuals who are extremely high-risk it may be determined that hospitalization is needed. You will have vast knowledge of community resources and referral agencies to connect people in crisis with appropriate ongoing clinical treatment options and with agencies that may alleviate exacerbating symptoms. Knowledge of psychiatric disorders, psychotropic medications, and medical conditions is important to be able to connect individuals with psychiatric services, when appropriate.

This position requires non-traditional hours that will include some overnights, weekends, and holiday coverage.
