Your Opportunity:

Day Hospital is a short-term intensive clinical program that provides assessment, intervention, crisis management, and stabilization for clients 17 and up who are experiencing an acute mental health and/or addiction presentation that require intensive services to prevent a formal inpatient admission. Like an inpatient unit but with no beds, clients attend programming during the day and return home or to their community setting each evening. The ideal candidate will have excellent knowledge of addiction and mental health disorders with experience providing assessment and treatment for these complex needs. This candidate will be able to multitask and effectively manage multiple priorities and demands.

Description:

As a Mental Health Therapist, you will be required to use a variety of treatment modalities (individual, family, and group) to persons experiencing significant mental health difficulties. Working both independently and as a member of a cooperative multidisciplinary team, you will provide evidence informed and best practices in crisis intervention, assessment, consultation, referral, case management and treatment.
