Mental Health Crisis Therapist, Senior

Hennepin County
Minneapolis, MN Full Time
POSTED ON 12/21/2024
AVAILABLE BEFORE 2/21/2025
Hennepin County Crisis Services is looking to hire a few Senior Mental Health Crisis Therapists. These positions provide the opportunity to make a difference in diverse communities, enhance your clinical skills in a fast-paced, team environment, and be part of a department with the mission to strengthen communities by improving the health of individuals and families.
 
Cope is a 24/7 mobile crisis program that provides crisis services in Hennepin County. Community members call Cope when they or loved ones are having a difficult time managing a crisis and/or are seeking community supports.  As a team member, you will make decisions about an individual's safety in real time while assessing their strengths. Instead of managing a caseload, you will be providing consumers with safety planning and reassurance in times of crisis while determining their needs and resources. It takes passion and a willingness to work with consumers in crisis.  

Hennepin County Public Health is committed to advancing health and racial equity. We recognize racism is a public health crisis. We are committed to change, and to co-creating solutions with those impacted to support communities where everyone experiences optimal health and wellness. Diverse voices are critical to this mission. We encourage you to join us in this work!

Current Hennepin County employees who refer a candidate hired into an open competitive position may be eligible for a $500 referral bonus. For more information visit employee referral program.
