Job Description:

Therapist - FACT

Forensic assertive community treatment (FACT) is a service delivery model intended for individuals with serious mental illness (SMI) who are involved with the criminal justice system. These individuals may have co-occurring substance use and physical health disorders. Their needs are often complex, and their disorders are often under-managed and further complicated by varying degrees of involvement with the criminal justice system. FACT builds on the evidence-based assertive community treatment (ACT) model by making adaptations based on criminal justice issues-in particular, addressing criminogenic risks and needs. In this sense, FACT is an intervention that bridges the behavioral health and criminal justice systems. The FACT team stands out with its low client-to-staff ratio, community-based service delivery, and a shared caseload managed by an interdisciplinary team.

• Addressing criminogenic risk and needs as part of the treatment plan, including the use of evidence based cognitive behavioral therapies shown to reduce recidivism.
• Provide therapeutic interventions and documentation to meet regulatory standards and/or contractual requirements.
• Serving clients with SMI who have prior arrests and incarcerations.

• Provide therapeutic interventions and documentation to meet regulatory standards and/or contractual requirements.
