Portland, United States The Mental Health Association of Oregon Full time
Job DescriptionJob Description

Mental Health & Addiction Association of Oregon (MHAAO)
M110 Behavioral Health Resource Network (BHRN)

Multnomah County LatinX PSS/PWS/CRM Job Description

Pay: $25

FTE: 1.0 FTE (40 hours per week) Hours and Shifts TBD

Benefits: This is a benefited position as outlined in the MHAAO Employee Handbook

TITLE: Peer Support Specialist/Certified Recovery Mentor

REPORTS TO: Latinx BHRN Peer Program Manager

DEPARTMENT: Direct Peer Delivered Service Department

Persons of color, LGBTQIA+ and members of all other underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.

JOB BACKGROUND & SUMMARY

In November 2020, Oregon voters passed Measure 110, the Drug Addiction Treatment and Recovery Act of 2020 (hereinafter referred to as “Measure 110” or the “Act”), which became effective on December 4, 2020, to better serve people actively using substances or diagnosed with a substance use disorder. The goal of M110 is to establish a more equitable and effective approach to substance use disorders (SUD).

Measure 110 established the Oversight and Accountability Council (OAC). The OAC oversees grant funds and approves grants for providers and servicers who meet the criteria for a Behavioral Health Resource Network (BHRN) that will ensure an increase in access to care for all communities, including communities who have disproportionately been impacted by rates of incarceration.

A “Behavioral Health Resource Network” (BHRN) means an entity or network of entities that receives funds from the OAC through OHA under SB 755, Section 2.(2)(a). The BHRNs will provide services to all in need of treatment and support for substance use concerns, including but not limited to: housing, harm reduction, peer support, supported employment and substance use disorder treatment.

M110 BHRN Peer Support Specialists/Certified Recovery Mentors (PSS/CRMs) will be providing peer support via intentional outreach and/or self-referrals from anyone seeking help for their drug use/addiction issues or community partner referral. The PSS/CRM will conduct nonclinical screening in Multnomah/Clackamas/Washington County BHRNs (depending on location preference) and connect the person seeking help with the resources of their choosing.

The Peer Support Specialist (PSS)/Certified Recovery Mentor (CRM) offers peer support to individuals as someone who has similar life experiences and acts as a positive role model of a person in recovery. The PSS/CRM participates in collaboratively supporting an individual’s self-defined and self-directed care. The PSS/CRM also supports the individual being served with creating their own person-directed recovery path including harm-reduction services, education and support. They will provide a listening, nonjudgmental presence for those who desire access to health care that could include medication-assisted treatment (MAT) and/or other clinical substance use disorder/mental health treatment resources in the community.

The PSS/CRM will work closely with other community organizations that may or may not be members of formal BHRNs.

This commitment is extended from the organization, as well as each employee of MHAAO.
