Do you want to make a difference while participating in a dynamic and reciprocal health care environment in the public sector? If so, we have an excellent opportunity for you to join our hospital’s team!
THE POSITIONThe State of Connecticut, Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (DMHAS) is a Behavioral Health Clinical Supervisor to join their team. This position is a critical role aligned with the Governor's State of Connecticut rebalancing efforts. This includes diverting individuals from higher levels of care that are restrictive and costly and prevent individuals from full integration in the community. The position is also responsible for the creation of trainings for residential care homes and DMHAS group homes and community providers. That work is essential as we expand residential care homes for mental health waiver clients.
The position also directly oversees the Nursing Home Division and Transition Program (NHDTP) and the Senior Outreach and Engagement Program (SOEP). The NHDTP program helps to mitigate unnecessary and inappropriate admissions of clients with mental health, substance use co-occurring disorders to skilled nursing facilities and other institutional levels of care and allows clients to choose to live in the least restrictive setting possible while integrating fully in the community.
The SOEP provides needed services to older adults, an underserved population, by providing outreach and assistance to locate the appropriate services to older adults to enable greater independence in the community.
