  • Perform initial intake, safety planning, and risk assessments.
  • Assess clients' immediate needs and develop service plans accordingly.

  • Connect clients with relevant services through on-site and off-site Family Justice Center partners.
  • Coordinate appointments with on-site and off-site partners.
  • Ensure clients are linked to primary care and sexual health services.
  • Maintain documentation of client interactions in designated databases.
  • Accompany clients as needed to facilitate successful engagement in care.
  • Assist the Domestic Violence counselor in preparing and leading group sessions.

  • Align all activities with CHASI's mission, core values, and organizational culture.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned.

QUALIFICATIONS:

  • A minimum of 2 years of experience working with diverse and vulnerable populations who have experienced trauma, demonstrating the ability to engage and serve the domestic violence community from a trauma-informed perspective.
  • High School diploma or equivalent required; some college education or a degree is preferred.
  • Previous experience in trauma-informed care and case management is strongly preferred, particularly with survivors of domestic or intimate partner violence.
  • Experience in facilitating educational workshops and presentations.
