Job Summary: Group Facilitators provide services to adults diagnosed with severe mental illnesses who may also have co-occurring substance use disorders and/or chronic health conditions utilizing a recovery-based and trauma-informed perspective. Group Facilitators operate in a dynamic environment, develop extensive knowledge of community resources, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and cultivate a clinical skill-set by forging therapeutic relationships with diverse community members. Interventions and services can be both office and community based and may require the use of a personal automobile and cell phone.
Group Facilitators work in partnership with racially and culturally diverse individuals to define and facilitate their desired life outcomes. Group Facilitators primarily provide skills training in a group modality to facilitate the individual's success in achieving and maintaining the maximum possible level of independent functioning.
