    LPN, PM - Mobile, Alabama, United States - AltaPointe Health

    Default job background
    Permanent Healthcare
    Description

    Overview:
    $8,000 sign-on bonus (LPN) offered. Details of terms and eligibility will be discussed in the interview.


    The Behavioral Health Crisis Center is strategically placed in Mobile County with easy access for the area with the highest need and the most frequent use, the midtown/downtown area of Mobile.

    This Crisis Center operates a 24/7/365 with a full complement of staff to provide crisis de-escalation and resolution no matter the time or the day.


    A study of mental health related law enforcement calls shows that, as one of Alabama's largest cities, Mobile has the highest demand for police and EMS within the I-65/I-165 corridor.

    Stationing the Diversion Center in this area will allow expeditious access from Baldwin, Washington, Clarke, Monroe, Conecuh, and Escambia Counties, which will also utilize the Diversion Center.

    Mobile Metro Jail is the second largest jail in Alabama. The annual number of individuals booked into the jail is just under 20,000. Since the Stepping Up Initiative began last year, all inmates are screened for mental illness and substance use disorders. Last year 6,828 individuals screened positive for serious mental illness. This is a serious over-representation of mentally ill individuals per capita when compared to statistics for the general population. Most individuals with mental illness or substance use disorders are arrested for petty crimes.

    These individuals could be diverted from arrest with the addition of more Mobile Crisis response and a Behavioral Health Crisis Center.

    Based on data collected from Crisis Response Team calls, Access to Care, law enforcement, local emergency departments, and a Community Health Needs Assessments, the size and structure of the Crisis Center must consist of a large living room model staffed by peer specialists, an 18 recliner temporary observation unit, and a 6 bed extended observation unit.
