About The Position

Network180 employees make a difference in people’s lives every day, making our community a better place to live. We are the behavioral health community organization responsible for the delivery of mental health, substance abuse treatment coordination, and developmental disabilities services for Kent County. We need individuals who are passionate about making a difference by helping others. We are seeking a Crisis Center BSW. As part of a multidisciplinary team-based service, this role provides support to clients in the Crisis Center, which includes a Brief Intervention Clinic and a Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU), and supports the daily function of the Center and meets the complex needs of clients. This assignment is scheduled for 36 hours a week, Friday through Sunday, from 7am to 7pm. This assignment is in-person at 260 Jefferson Ave SE Grand Rapids, Michigan 49503. Network 180’s Behavioral Health Crisis Center is a 24/7 facility that serves adults 18 years and older and includes a walk-in Brief Intervention Clinic and a secure Crisis Stabilization Unit (CSU). The setting provides assessment and unscheduled clinical services designed to prevent or resolve mental health or substance-related crises. The Crisis Center aims to provide these services to individuals whose crisis will typically resolve within a few hours, however, may require up to seventy-two (72) hours of treatment; and where services can be voluntary or involuntary. The CSU fills a key gap in the Kent County Crisis Continuum of Care and provides more efficient, effective, equitable crisis behavioral health care in a setting designed and staffed to provide this type of treatment. The CSU also aims to divert individuals from jail, emergency departments, and inpatient psychiatric hospital settings to an appropriate least restrictive treatment setting whenever it can be achieved safely and successfully.
