About The Position
Join Dakota County in the system-changing field of social work and police partnerships. Our Embedded Stabilization Social Work program is seeking candidates who are passionate about building new relationships across systems and creating alternative responses for people experiencing a mental health crisis. Dakota County Embedded Social Workers partner with law enforcement agencies to provide post-crisis stabilization and therapeutic support to children, adults and/or family systems experiencing an ongoing mental health crisis. Embedded Social Workers are a part of the Dakota County Crisis Continuum of services which also includes the Crisis Response Unit (CRU) and Crisis Stabilization. This position does not respond to active crisis calls. Rather, Embedded Stabilization Social Workers partner with mental health trained officers to do proactive outreach after law enforcement has been called due to a mental health crisis with the goal of providing crisis stabilization services and connection to supports that will reduce the likelihood of future emergency services utilization.
