Hiring for the following teams:

ICM

The Intensive Case Management (ICM) team is a mobile, community-based team who serves individuals 18 years on up who have been diagnosed with a serious mental illness. The ICM team has a smaller staff to client ratio given the client's level of care needs. Cascadia's ICM works both in Multnomah and Clackamas Counties however the ICM office is based in SE Portland. The ICM team consists of the program manager, therapists, skills trainers, and peer wellness specialists. The team meets every morning for daily check-ins; ICM provides weekly group and individual supervisions. Cascadia ICM follows Strength Based fidelity practices; all staff are trained in Strength Based Management.

ACT/FACT

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) and Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) teams are an Evidence-Based Practice (EBP) designed to provide comprehensive treatment and support services to individuals who are diagnosed with serious mental illness.

Team members do not carry individual caseloads, rather the entire team is responsible for the entire caseload. Team members meet daily to coordinate services for ACT participants. ACT teams are typically staffed at a ratio of 1:10 (meaning 1 full time team member for every 10 individuals served by the team).

The ACT team includes: a team leader, a licensed medical practitioner (psychiatrist or PMHNP), nurses, therapists, substance abuse specialists, supported employment specialists, and peer support specialists.

ACT meets clients where they're at: Most services (80%+) are provided in the community where people live and work. While ACT services are individualized to meet each person's needs, because of the high acuity of ACT participants, they are typically seen on average of 4 times a week.
