Clinical Assessor
Pmhcc Inc. 4.0
Pmhcc Inc. job in Philadelphia, PA
The Behavioral Health and Justice Division (BHJD) is committed to working towards reducing criminal justice involvement for Philadelphians with behavioral health challenges, including Serious Mental Illness (SMI). BHJD organizes its work according to the Sequential Intercept Model, identifying opportunities to intervene at various points of criminal justice involvement to deflect and divert individuals away from further penetration of the system and into the behavioral health system. By helping connect individuals to needed treatment and support services that promote stability in the community, BHJD believes that Philadelphians are less likely to be arrested and can achieve health, well-being, and self-determination. BHJD also aligns with Stepping Up and focuses its efforts on lowering the number of Philadelphians with SMI admitted to the Philadelphia Department of Prisons (PDP), reducing their length of stay, connecting them to treatment/supports upon release, and reducing recidivism.
The Forensic Support Team (FST) of BHJD was established to meet the unique needs of Philadelphians who are either: 1. Adjudicated as not competent to stand trial on only misdemeanor charges and committed to a State hospital (e.g., Norristown State Hospital) or 2. Adjudicated as non-restorable. The FST works within PDP and Norristown State Hospital (NSH) in order to assist individuals while in jail, when transitioning from jail to NSH, and when reentering the community typically under the court's jurisdiction. To support this forensic population, the FST helps individuals navigate the Philadelphia judicial and behavioral health systems while also seeking to address each individual's unique legal, behavioral, medical, physical, cultural, and/or financial needs. The Clinical Assessor becomes an important part of a team comprised of: one (1) FST Supervisor (a licensed psychologist); one (1) FST Coordinator, three (3) Clinical Assessors, and one (1) Post-Doctoral Psychology Resident.
The Clinical Assessor will complete clinical assessments and provide system navigation for justice-involved individuals with behavioral health challenges who fall into either of the aforementioned priority groups. In this capacity, the Clinical Assessor is responsible for determining the appropriate level of care (LOC) for the individual via a procedure that is consistent with a strengths-based, biopsychosocial recovery model. The procedure relies on State hospitals and jails to provide access to the individual as well as clear documentation and consultation about the individual so an informed decision can be made about the appropriate LOC and the individual's risk for violence.
The decision about the LOC is based on the individual's: aspirations, goals for recovery, strengths, support system, risk for future violence, psychiatric diagnosis, medical diagnosis, psychiatric history, cognitive or physical limitations, results from any psychological measures or medical tests, current medications, incident reports, participation in recovery services, current treatment team input, and privileges earned. With this information and documentation, the Clinician Assessor collaborates with the Philadelphian and their treatment team in an effort to agree on an appropriate LOC as well as a re-entry plan and, when necessary, present the plan to the appropriate criminal court.
Duties and Responsibilities:
The Clinical Assessor helps individuals with SMI "navigate" the maze of treatment programs, the court system, and support services upon reentry into the community. The Clinical Assessor reduces barriers that keep individuals with SMI from accessing timely treatment by identifying behavioral health needs and directing individuals to appropriate resources.
An effective Clinical Assessor is a
:
Relationship builder
Building effective working relationships is the foundation of effective forensic navigation. To improve coordination of care for people with mental illness and to reduce barriers to reentry, navigators must work with different groups of people: individuals who are incarcerated, healthcare teams within the PDP, criminal justice partners, families, NSH staff, and resource providers within the community. It is important to build effective working relationships with all of these groups.
Clinical care coordinator
The Clinical Assessor conducts forensic evaluations and coordinate care for individuals who are either: 1. Adjudicated as not competent to stand trial on only misdemeanor charges and committed to a State hospital (e.g., NSH) or 2. Adjudicated as non-restorable. They coordinate with the court system, NSH, and treatment providers to determine the most appropriate and effective interventions and levels of care, and they provide the needed linkages. They plan reentry for individuals who will be returning to the community. Moreover, Clinical Assessors enhance the continuity of care as individuals transition between PDP and NSH.
Creative problem solver
The Clinical Assessor finds creative solutions to barriers. Some individuals with mental illness utilize commonly used services, but others have unique needs that require initiative and creative thinking to locate the appropriate resources.
Organized information manager
The Clinical Assessor manages and tracks a large amount of information. Assessments, referrals, legal statuses, and treatment histories are just a few things the Clinical Assessor needs to track and, by law, this information must be kept confidential and secure. It is important that the Clinical Assessor stays organized and uses a systematic approach to information management.
Specific duties
Perform level of care and other-discharge related assessments for individuals adjudicated not competent to stand trial and/or non-restorable that are detained at the PDP or NSH
Attend treatment team meetings for individuals detained at NSH to monitor progress and/or changes in clinical presentation
Facilitate access to re-entry services and programs
Identify individuals for diversion and share with appropriate justice partners
Review legal status, commitment type, charges, competency opinions and findings, and clinical needs for all individuals on the waitlist to NSH on an ongoing basis

The position requires demonstrated skills in communication, problem solving, decision making, and report writing. The individual possesses the ability to skillfully communicate verbally and in writing with a variety of multidisciplinary partners, including judges, attorneys, jail staff, provider agencies, psychiatrists, nurses, and social workers.
