Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) Program Manager

Pathways Vermont provides community-based mental health services and collaborative learning that centers people as the experts of their own lives. We strengthen our communities and the system of care by elevating the voices of lived experience.

Pathways Vermont is committed to a diverse workplace that reflects the communities we serve and is particularly interested in receiving applications from a broad spectrum of people interested in providing supportive social services to Vermonters including people with military experience, individuals with disabilities, and people of color.

Pathways Vermont’s Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) team is an evidence-based forensic adaptation of Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) with over 40 years of research and evaluation. FACT is recognized by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to be a promising practice that blends criminogenic risk management, substance use and mental health management, with a focus on improving social determinants and health equity.

The goals of FACT are to reduce return to incarceration; increase time spent in the community; increase the time in-between returns to incarceration; decrease frequency and intensity of violations; decrease criminogenic risk and needs; reduce victim violence contacts/harassments; increase engagement in treatment/healthcare plan; reduce utilization of crisis services and hospitalization; and improve social determinants (e.g., employment, stable housing, prosocial social connection).

This Chittenden County Based team will support 40-60 individuals under the supervision of the Department of Corrections in collaboration with Burlington Probation and Parole.

The FACT Program Manager is a member of a modified Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) team. The team is interdisciplinary and composed of staff who provide flexible, compassionate, community based services to individuals under the supervision of the Vermont Department of Corrections. The team ends homelessness and institutionalization for Vermonters while supporting health, wellness and community integration goals. The FACT Program Lead supervises direct service staff, cultivates and maintains local service partnerships, and ensures excellent service delivery to local participants.

The Program Manager provides overall leadership and operational oversight for the FACT program and is accountable for program quality, staff performance and development, grant and contract compliance, service outcomes, fiscal stewardship, and fidelity to the FACT model.

Working in collaboration with agency leadership, DOC, DMH, Housing First, funders, and community partners, the Program Manager establishes program priorities, resolves operational challenges, and ensures services are delivered consistently with Pathways Vermont’s mission, values, contractual requirements, and practice standards.
