This role exists to ensure patients receive comprehensive support that honors their inherent dignity, individuality, culture, and beliefs.

Your day will involve identifying patient needs and utilizing evidence-based approaches to navigate stages of change, while also providing advocacy, education, and therapeutic intervention for those in crisis. You will facilitate warm handoffs, ensuring patients are engaged by intake staff and remain connected to treatment over time.
