    Description
    Case Manager - Peer Health Assistance Program

    Peer Assistance Services, Inc., is a community-based, 501(c)(3), not-for-profit Colorado corporation. Our mission, to lead with prevention and intervention for substance use and mental health concerns, guides all agency programming. Our values of grit, integrity, and compassion are guideposts for all that we do in the service of our mission. Each staff member operates from these to ensure the success of the agency. Peer Assistance Services implements two statewide programs: Screening, Brief Intervention, Referral to Treatment, and the Peer Health Assistance Programs.

    Screening, Brief, Intervention, and Referral to Treatment, or SBIRT, is an evidence-based early intervention practice to identify, reduce, and prevent the use of alcohol and other substances.

SBIRT in Colorado is a statewide program that provides training, technical assistance, and implementation support to health and mental healthcare providers, healthcare organizations, and stakeholders. SBIRT in Colorado manages a statewide campaign to increase public awareness of the risks related to alcohol, marijuana, and other drug use and to reduce the stigma of seeking treatment.

    Peer Health Assistance Programs are statutorily created and funded by license fees. These programs provide assessment, referral, long-term case management, and monitoring for health and mental health professionals with physical, emotional, psychiatric, psychological, and/or substance use conditions affecting their practice.
