The Outreach Clinician will work within a Specialized Outreach Program – Pathways to Recovery - designed for unsheltered individuals with SUD and COD. The OC, through targeted Outreach and assertive engagement will develop an individual community-based assessment with successful connections to appropriate levels of care based on ASAM criteria. The OC will play an important role in supporting clients through service transitions to ensure a soft landing and warm handoff from the street to recovery and housing. The OC will work as part of a specialized Outreach team and will leverage all recovery and housing resources which reduce barriers to services and housing. The OC will conduct community-based bio-psych-social assessments and provide immediate referral services. Each client will have varying support needs. The Outreach Clinician will work with clients to develop a Safe Placement and Stability plan. These services could include, but are not limited to crisis intervention and safety planning, connection to medication management, emergency services, assisting a guest in accessing detox or recovery services and other stabilization services as needed. Once the clinician and the client have established a Safe Placement and stability plan, the Outreach Clinician will participate in warm hand offs to internal and external providers for continued work toward permanent housing. The Outreach Clinician will work with community providers of health and behavioral health services to coordinate care plans for appropriate medical and behavioral health services. The Outreach Clinician will work within a best practice framework of Stages of Change Theory, Harm Reduction, Motivational Interviewing and Trauma-informed Care and will mitigate barriers to treatment and housing. The Outreach Clinician will work in collaboration with Outreach Specialists, a Housing Support Specialist, a Benefits Navigator, and will report to the Clinical Supervisor of the Behavioral Health Outreach Team. The Outreach Clinician will always work towards a Housing Pathway with clients consistent with the Mission, Vision, and Values of the Pine Street Inn.
