Scope of Work: Social Worker on Flourish Health Clinic Flourish Health Clinical Service Delivery The Social Worker for the Flourish Health Clinic provides trauma-informed, field-based behavioral and medical health support to individuals impacted by substance use, mental health, housing insecurity, and barriers to care. As part of the interdisciplinary team, the social worker conducts mental health and substance use screenings, provides harm reduction education and supplies, offers brief interventions and crisis support (including de-escalation support), and coordinates referrals and follow-up planning to behavioral health, medical health and social services (such as mental health, recovery, medical care, housing, counseling, etc.).

MHC was founded in Nashville, Tennessee, in response to the need for assertive community-based treatment for individuals who have required frequent inpatient psychiatric hospitalization. Since 1993, MHC has been passionately helping adults with severe mental illness to live quality lives in the community with our state-of-the-art treatment and support. In 1999, MHC recognized the need to support the whole family and expanded services to include children and youth. We established our non-profit agency by merging three community organizations: Urban Case Management of Meharry Community Health Center, Continuous Treatment Team of Council of Community Services, and Mobile Crisis Team of the Crisis Intervention Center. This fusion resulted in an innovative, comprehensive, and multidisciplinary approach that addresses the specialized needs of individuals living with severe behavioral health conditions and challenges related to poverty.
