The Behavioral Health Specialist I serves as a key member of the Behavioral Health Collaborative Care team, working alongside primary care providers and psychiatric consultants to deliver integrated mental health services. Essential duties include screening patients for mental health and substance use disorders, conducting brief evidence-based interventions, monitoring treatment progress, and coordinating referrals to external resources. The role emphasizes collaborative care management, patient education, and documentation within a registry system to ensure seamless communication among the care team. This position offers the opportunity to work in a supportive, mission-driven environment that values professional growth and cultural competence. While the role involves regular interaction with patients and staff within a medical facility, it focuses on improving patient outcomes through structured, short-term support rather than long-term therapy.
