Description

OPPORTUNITY

Central Minnesota Mental Health Center (CMMHC) is seeking qualified candidates for the position of Mental Health Professional: Co-Responder within our Crisis Team. The Mental Health Professional: Co-Responder is a licensed mental health professional who is embedded within the Stearns County Sheriff's Department and works with officers to respond to behavioral health calls.

WHAT IS CO-RESPONDER?

The Co-Responder Program pairs specially trained mental health professionals with law enforcement to respond to individuals in a mental health crisis who seek help through the 911 system. These professionals provide mental health evaluations, crisis intervention, treatment planning, information and referrals. Drawing on a trauma-informed model of care, they help to de-escalate situations, assess safety risks, and determine appropriate next steps - whether that means supporting individuals to remain safely in the community or facilitating alternative care.
