We have seen many successes with our law enforcement-assisted diversion (LEAD) program that launched in January 2021. Along with our partner in the effort, Comprehensive Healthcare, we now carry a caseload of 87 individuals across four case managers. BMHTH’s low-barrier buprenorphine program (a.k.a. “Meds First”) has also done very well, inducting nearly 300 people onto Suboxone since June 2019. This mental health position will be partly co-located at our SSP in Walla Walla, and partly meeting clients in the field. Energetic, team players with a passion for trauma-informed therapies will love this position. More details follow.

- Educate appropriate coping mechanisms to help clients through tough situations or ongoing trauma
- Record the client’s progress and change treatment plans when needed
- Regularly confer with in-house and partner clinical and case management staff to ensure all services are brought to bear for the clients’ interests
Expectations:
- Timely reporting to work
- Clear written and oral communication with supervisor, coworkers, clients, and contract holders
- On-time, accurate, and complete paperwork support for clients, BMH2H, and its contract holders
