About the Role: Co-Responder Program – Mental Health Clinician:
 

North Range Behavioral Health and multiple Police Departments within Weld County have partnered together to create the Co-Responder program. This collaborative team will align and embed behavioral health staff in each respective police department, allowing for a behavioral health specialist to respond to the scene in the community with public safety officers. A full-time Mental Health Clinician is assigned to the team and scheduled during identified peak times for behavioral health calls.

As a Co-Responder Mental Health Clinician, you will partner with law enforcement agencies to provide case consultation, crisis intervention, service coordination, and referrals/linkage to resources for individuals who are identified as having mental health/substance use-related 911 calls.

Key Responsibilities:

• Conduct assessments, goal planning, and treatment for mental health and/or substance use issues, utilizing required instruments and formats within appropriate timelines.
• Develop and update strength-based treatment plans, continuing care plans, and discharge summaries; make timely referrals.
• Observe clients, assess diagnoses and mental status, and implement treatment plans based on clients’ needs and functioning levels.
• Collaborate with clinicians, law enforcement, external providers, and psychiatrists to ensure comprehensive care.
• Work with clients on safety planning, symptom management, support system identification, and risk mitigation.
• Teach clients behavioral skills, coping strategies, and problem-solving techniques to improve well-being and daily functioning.
• Support evidence-based practices to ensure effective interventions within the program.
• Provide case management and refer clients to additional resources (e.g., vocational, medical, housing, residential treatment).
• Maintain accurate electronic health records, ensuring ethical coding and billing in compliance with agency standards.
