Pay is based on education and experience

The Community Support Team (CST) provides direct support to adults with a Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders Fifth Edition (DSM-5) diagnosis of mental illness, substance use, or comorbid disorder and who have complex and extensive treatment needs. This service consists of community-based mental health and substance use services, and structured rehabilitative interventions intended to increase and restore a beneficiary’s ability to live successfully in the community.

The team approach involves structured, face-to-face therapeutic interventions that assist in re-establishing the beneficiary’s community roles related to the following life domains: emotional, behavioral, social, safety, housing, medical and health, educational, vocational, and legal.

As a service provider, the Qualified Professional must assist the consumer in developing critical daily living and coping skills, gain access to necessary services, and reduce psychiatric and addiction symptoms. This includes but is not limited to assessing client needs, arranging services, implementing comprehensive service plans, and working in conjunction with Community Support Team Leader (LP), paraprofessional, certified peer support specialist, substance abuse counselor, and associate professional staff, advocating on the behalf of the client, completing the required documentation, and other duties as assigned.

The clinician seeks to provide continuity of care and enable clients to improve their quality of life and attain the highest level of independence. Services offered by the team include assistance and support for individuals in crises; service coordination; psycho-education and support for individuals and their families; development of symptom monitoring and management skills; monitoring medication self-administration and compliance. The Qualified Professional can deliver services in various environments, such as residential, school, workplace, and community settings.

These interventions are community-based and focused on promoting recovery, symptom reduction, increased coping skills, and achievement of the highest level of functioning in the community, and other goals as developed according to the Person-Centered Plan (PCP).
