Layton, Utah, United States Davis Behavioral Health Full time
Job Overview

Position Summary

The Youth Crisis Intervention Specialist will utilize their personal experiences to collaborate effectively within a multidisciplinary team, delivering urgent response services to individuals facing behavioral and mental health challenges.

  • Facilitate connections to ongoing services and resources to assist individuals in maintaining stability within the community.
  • Collaborate with the team to provide stabilization assistance to families, which may involve conducting assessments, offering skills training, coordinating with educational and child-serving organizations, providing peer support, and linking to suitable community resources and long-term services.
  • Conduct regular follow-ups with individuals and, when appropriate, their families post-crisis to encourage ongoing stability.
  • Ensure accurate clinical documentation of all services in accordance with agency standards.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned.

This includes being in stable recovery without any interruptions.
