Work with the best in mental health treatment, where you can make a difference in the lives of children and their families! Casa Pacifica's Safe Alternatives for Treating Youth (SAFTY) program seeks a Crisis Care Specialist for our Santa Barbara office. SAFTY is a mobile crisis response service available to all of Santa Barbara County children and youth age 20 and under who are experiencing a psychiatric emergency. In collaboration with Casa Pacifica's SAFTY team provides crisis services 8:00 AM - 8:00 PM, 7 days a week with the main focus on crisis planning and relationship building with high-risk youth and their families as the primary means of preventing psychiatric hospitalization. This program is structured to provide quick and accessible specialized crisis intervention, in-home support and linkage to county mental health services. SAFTY staff are authorized to place a hold (involuntary placement in a hospital for up to 72 hours) on a child or youth in crisis, if such a placement is necessary to keep a child/youth safe.
SAFTY staff work collaboratively with law enforcement and when a child/youth is already receiving mental health services, SAFTY staff consult and coordinate services with the child's existing treatment team. SAFTY's goal is to prevent psychiatric hospitalization, detention in juvenile detention facilities and to provide linkage to appropriate mental health services.
The Crisis Care Specialist II is responsible for implementing crisis planning and relationship building with high-risk children and families in Santa Barbara County as the primary means of preventing psychiatric hospitalizations, use of an emergency room or use of public resources such as the police.
