About You As the Program Manager, you will be responsible for overseeing and leading a team of professionals who will provide a unique combination of customer service, crisis intervention, resource guidance, utilization review, mobile crisis oversight and dispatch, Behavioral Health Urgent Care (BHUC) billing services, insurance oversight, and system troubleshooting.

Pull together and coordinate helpers from multiple Common Ground specialties to ensure Common Ground is serving all individuals reaching out to the Hub, and reinforce a team culture that is positive, accountable, and responsive to the needs of people and the community. This multifunctional unit will provide a central point of contact where individuals can reach out to Common Ground for help, receive compassionate care over the phone and guidance to get them what they need to address their crisis.

This might include sending a mobile team to their location, referral and connection to a clinician to explore mental health concerns and/or connection to a medical practitioner for a short-term bridge prescription until an individual can meet with their doctor. As the organization expands and grows, this unit will expand in their scope and size to meet the challenge of serving as the front door to Common Ground.
