About The Position
The Department of Surgery is actively recruiting for a Certified Mental Health Clinician. The employee will be a full-time mental health clinician for Turning the Tide Violence Intervention Program (TTVIP) and will provide direct clinical services to patients who have experienced violent injury and are treated at MUSC Health's Level I Adult and Pediatric Trauma Centers in downtown Charleston. TTVIP is a hospital-based violence intervention program that aims to address and reduce patient risk factors with the goal of preventing future violent injury and improving injury recovery and quality of life outcomes. TTVIP's priority population includes patients 12-30 years old who live in the tri-county area and are injured via community violence. This clinician will provide evidence-based trauma focused mental health services to patients and immediate loved ones supported by TTVIP regardless of eligibility status for long-term wraparound service enrollment. The position includes both early intervention and longer-term trauma counseling. The clinician will assist in the planning and implementation of victim and family resiliency-building related to community violence prevention and response in coordination with the TTVIP team and partners. An emphasis will be placed on increasing access to culturally competent mental health services for underserved populations (e.g., Black/African American males) through individual and group therapy sessions. Duties also involve coordinating services to address unmet social needs that influence access to and utilization of mental health services (e.g., housing, transportation, food insecurity, education, and employment) with TTVIP Client Advocates and community-based resources, and documenting provision of these services in the program database.
