Job Description Program Overview:

Bluebonnet Trails Community Services' Mobile Crisis Outreach Team (MCOT) provides community-based behavioral health crisis response 24 hours per day, 7 days per week, utilizing the least restrictive, clinically appropriate interventions to assess, stabilize, and resolve behavioral health crises in accordance with Texas crisis service standards. The Transitional Crisis Clinician is a specialized crisis services position embedded within the MCOT continuum and designed to provide time-limited, intensive transitional crisis follow-up and stabilization services for individuals requiring ongoing support beyond the initial crisis episode. This role primarily serves adults discharged from crisis intervention who continue to demonstrate clinical acuity, elevated risk of decompensation, barriers to successful linkage, or a need for enhanced continuity of care during transition to ongoing treatment and community supports. Services are individualized, medically necessary, and focused on stabilization, relapse prevention, risk reduction, and successful transition to longer-term services. Transitional services may be provided for up to 90 days, based on clinical need, progress toward stabilization, and continued appropriateness of the level of care. While the primary focus of this position is transitional adult crisis care, the clinician remains part of the Mobile Crisis Outreach Team and may assist with crisis response, assessments, and interventions across age populations as operationally necessary.

Critical Impact:

Services are primarily delivered in community settings, including homes, schools, hospitals, emergency departments, shelters, clinics, and other locations based on individual need and safety considerations.
