We strive to create a team that reflects the people we serve and where our guests and employees feel empowered to be their full, authentic selves.
Position Summary: This position will be part of the Road Home’s Family Assistance and Support Team (FAST) funded through a grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) (grant-funded); which is a collaborative team of case managers and behavioral health clinicians. This team provides comprehensive services to recently homeless families, with services often taking place in patients’ homes, on the street, or on-site at the office of one of many collaborating service providers. The APRN assigned to work with this interdisciplinary team has the opportunity to form relationships with patients with mental health and substance use disorders, manage their psychotropic medications, provide psychotherapy, and participate in a variety of advocacy and case-management duties in collaboration with other members of the team. The APRN may join other team members to see patients in the hospital, visit them while incarcerated, and search for them in the community.
