Crisis Clinician - Diversion Center

Overview

Diversion Center provides 24/7 access to immediate crisis assessment and intervention services in a facility-based setting. Diversion Center’s primary referral sources are local law enforcement, emergency departments, and other behavioral health first responders. The Bluebonnet Trails Diversion Center offers an interdisciplinary team supporting adults in crisis through evaluation and assessment, medication management, safety planning, and care coordination. Our mission is to continuously improve the health and independence of the persons we serve, and the Diversion Center provides critical access to care to stabilize a crisis while diverting individuals from jail, emergency rooms, and hospitalization.

Critical Impact:
At its core, the Diversion Center provides an option for expedited access to immediate behavioral health treatment, with a focus on pre-arrest jail diversion and recidivism reduction. The Diversion Center Crisis Clinician provides clinical care to individuals on the unit, including intake, assessment, treatment planning, discharge planning, and safety planning. The Crisis Clinician collaborates with the interdisciplinary team and contractors to maintain Diversion Center’s essential operations, including during emergencies and disasters.
