Role Summary:
Supportive Connections is a social support program developed to meet the needs of individuals in the community who are experiencing crisis in their current lives. Supportive Connections work to deflect individuals away from the criminal justice system through prevention and intervention practices using community referrals along with person-centered and harm reduction methods.
The Outreach Case Manager will provide short-term support to clients and referrals to services with particular emphasis on trauma-informed and person-centered interventions sensitive to race class gender sexual orientation and neighborhood context. The Outreach Case Manager will provide second response follow-up to individuals who experienced crises and others potentially affected by that crisis to assess if and how further support might be extended.
The Outreach Case Managers work in a two-person team providing follow-up to individuals who have had contact with first responders and law enforcement after a crisis or community referral. The Outreach team will work with local community agencies and caseworkers to provide individualized needed services for each participant. The Outreach team will help vulnerable community members address root issues that could lead or have led to involvement in the justice system in the past. The primary goal for the Outreach team is to connect individuals to services they want or need within 30 days or refer them to the Supportive Connections Program Director and Clinical Case Manager for ongoing services and support.
