Join to apply for the FACT Lite Case Specialist role at Mental Health Resource Center, Inc.

Mental Health Resource Center is a not-for-profit Florida corporation that provides a wide range of mental health and behavioral health care services to the community such as 24-hour emergency services, inpatient psychiatric services for children, adolescents, and adults as well as outpatient services such as medication management, case management, and counseling.

This is an ideal opportunity for an individual who enjoys working in a team atmosphere and is dedicated to providing both behavioral health care and social services to the individuals we serve in the community.

This program operates on the Linking, Advocating, Transitioning, & Recovery Support (LATRS) service model as defined in DCF Guidance 36. FACT Lite uses a multidisciplinary approach to deliver care to adults with serious mental illness (SMI) by providing mental health rehabilitation interventions and supports necessary to assist participants to achieve and maintain rehabilitative, resiliency, and recovery goals. FACT Lite also provides clinical case management and recovery support that promotes continuity of care and ease of service access until a full transition to community-based care is optimal.

Services provided to individuals served by the FACT Lite Program include, but are not limited to: case management; care coordination; medication oversight and support; psychoeducation regarding mental health challenges and treatment options; assistance and support in addressing health care needs; life skills development; support with furthering education or gaining employment; and working closely with individual's families or other natural supports.

Most of a FACT Lite team member's day is spent in the community completing many of the above duties. Only about 25% of their time is spent in the office. Company vehicles are available, however members of the FACT Lite team also need to use their personal vehicles to provide services and are eligible for reimbursement for mileage.

The FACT Lite team operates Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 5:00pm. Team members rotate providing crisis on-call coverage after normal business hours, on the weekends and holidays.
