Who is Comprehensive Healthcare?
Comprehensive Healthcare provides innovative behavioral health and integrated healthcare services to clients of all ages. We take pride in our creative and collaborative work environment and in delivering clinically excellent, trauma-informed, recovery-oriented services.
What are we looking for in a Behavioral Health Specialist?
The Behavioral Health Specialist for the Youth Mobile Outreach team responds in the community to requests for youth outreach services throughout Kittitas County. The goal of the Youth Mobile Outreach team is to reduce the use of emergency departments, hospitals, and detention centers for young people experiencing a crisis by offering an alternative for support and access to services in the community when a mental health emergency does occur. The Behavioral Health Specialist meets with youth who are experiencing a crisis and works to de-escalate and stabilize the crisis and connect the youth and their family with services. The Behavioral Health Specialist also completes screenings and assessments to better understand the contributing factors to the crisis and then provide resources and skill-building that will help the youth and their family more effectively manage the mental health concerns. The schedule for this role is Monday-Friday 10am-7pm.
Behavioral Health Specialist duties may include:
