Recovery Specialist II (On-Call) - Mental Health 270

“They made it easier for me to live, breathe, eat, and stay clean. Without them, I’d be somewhere waiting for someone to give me a chance to live...” – Client from Telecare

About the role

Telecare's mission is to deliver excellent and effective behavioral health services that engage individuals in recovering their health, hopes, and dreams. Telecare continues to advance cultural diversity, humility, equity, and inclusion at all levels of our organization by hiring mental health peers, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, veterans, and all belief systems. At the Telecare Fern Lodge Behavioral Wellness program, we provide intensive mental health and psychiatric treatment services in a safe, welcoming environment for adults requiring continued time for stabilization and recovery support. Our secure facility includes a full staff of registered nurses, clinicians, peer specialists, and social workers on-call 24-hours a day to provide wraparound support. Our services are designed using Telecare's Recovery-Centered Clinical System (RCCS). Through the lens of trauma-informed care, this system incorporates evidence-based practices and innovative design components. RCCS focuses on choice-making skills, harm reduction techniques, and strives to awaken the hopes and dreams of the individual. The RCCS emphasizes "no-force first" practices. Staff work with individuals within their cultural dynamic in building independence and self-responsibility in order to foster their recovery and successfully transition them home or to a less restrictive community setting. A variety of therapies and activities adapted to individual needs and preferences are offered as part of their treatment plan. Services include comprehensive evaluation and risk assessment, psychiatric assessment and treatment, peer support and community group meetings, social and recreational activities, rehabilitation programming, supportive counseling on a group and individual basis, medication administration and management.
