Support staff in managing complex participant interactions while maintaining a safe and calm shelter environment.

Develop and implement individualized behavioral support plans when needed.

Participate in safety planning and risk assessment for participants experiencing suicidal ideation, domestic violence, or substance use relapse.

Team Collaboration and Training

Provide consultation and guidance to shelter staff regarding behavioral health best practices, boundaries, and trauma-informed engagement.

Participate in multidisciplinary team meetings and case reviews to ensure coordinated family support.

Assist in developing staff training materials and participate in team education on behavioral health awareness and de-escalation techniques.

Collaborate with external behavioral health agencies to enhance shelter-based supports and streamline referrals.

Documentation, Compliance, and Reporting

Maintain accurate and timely records of participant interactions, assessments, and referrals.

Adhere to HIPAA, 42 CFR Part 2, and Just Compassion confidentiality standards.

Track and report behavioral health service utilization and participant outcomes.

Ensure compliance with program standards, funding requirements, and ethical practice guidelines.

Work may involve evening or weekend hours to meet participant or program needs.

Regular exposure to families in crisis, requiring professionalism, patience, and emotional resilience.

Stay informed on Just Compassion and County policies, procedures, and program standards.

Uphold best practices in trauma-informed care, cultural competency, and harm reduction.

Perform additional tasks as assigned by the Program Manager and funding entities.
