Position: 23-77-8093

Job Summary: Integral Care's Expanded Mobile Crisis Outreach Team (EMCOT) serves individuals in psychiatric crisis. Travis County Emergency Medical Services (EMS), Austin Police Department (APD), and Travis County Sheriff's Office (TCSO), as well as other law enforcement agencies can request EMCOT through the 911 call center for real-time co-response for psychiatric crises. EMCOT connects individuals to treatment appropriate for psychiatric crises, diverting them from emergency rooms and jails. This improves health outcomes and ensures first responders can return to what they do best- responding to medical emergencies and public safety issues.

EMCOT also receives referrals from Central Booking Counseling Staff and Travis County Correctional Complex (TCCC) to connect individuals post-release to services in order to prevent future engagement with the criminal justice system.

• Assist with jail diversions at Central Booking, prior to the individual being booked.
• Additional duties:

While not working in the jail setting, the clinician will support clinical operations of the unit, including providing community-based crisis assessments, interventions, and brief follow-up.
