Job Description

ABOUT THE PROGRAM:

Mental Health Specialist II (MHS2) work in our Acute Behavioral Services (ABS) programs. These are highly specialized programs in which we serve individuals with intensive, interfering behavioral and mental health needs.  The persons receiving these services have many of the following characteristics: previously placed in a highly restricted facility, high incidents of crisis situations, high behaviors or anti-social issues, multiple hospitalizations/commitments/ institutional stays, history of law enforcement involvement due to behaviors, and multiple failed placements. These group homes have been significantly modified to eliminate safety concerns. Consistency and routine are key factors in the proven success of these programs.  Because of the complex/high level behaviors, MHS2's are provided training for manual restraints and will experience mental, emotional, and physical manipulation from the person we support. Staff may be exposed to severe verbal aggression that may include disparaging remarks, racial slurs and swearing.  ABS programs utilize a person-centered approach to creating a program that focuses on supporting a person to reach their goals while still considering the safety of the individual, staff, and the community. 

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

The MHS II is responsible to provide direct care and direct supports to each person served according to his/ her needs.  This includes intense interfering behavioral health management, assisting in maintaining a clean, safe living environment, assisting and training on daily living skills, transportation and supervision while promoting a person-centered approach.These are care giver positions with an emphasis on mental health and behavior management support. Past experience in direct support professional roles as well as behavior technician would be similar in responsibilities.
