Job Description
Greater Cincinnati Behavioral Health Services (GCB) is a comprehensive integrated behavioral health care organization serving adults and children throughout Southwest Ohio and Northern Kentucky. GCB is on the cutting edge of advances in treatment of mental illness and has won national recognition for the implementation of evidence-based services. We are seeking a Board Certified Psychiatrist to be a member of our new Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team for adults in Amelia Ohio.
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an intensive and highly integrated approach for community mental health service delivery. ACT teams serve individuals with the most serious forms of mental illness, predominantly but not exclusively the schizophrenia spectrum disorders. Many have histories of substance abuse, victimization and trauma, psychiatric hospitalization, arrests and incarceration, and homelessness. The symptoms and complications of their mental illnesses have led to serious functioning difficulties in several areas of life, often including work, social relationships, residential independence, money management, and physical health and wellness. As a member of the ACT team, the psychiatrist is available to all staff, participants and families to offer information and training on the course of illness and treatment, treatment options, primary effects and side effects of medications and other medical complications. The psychiatrist collaborates with other medical providers regarding the participant; including when hospitalized in medical and acute settings. The psychiatrist reviews the participant’s psychiatric and medical needs and either directly or through team members, offers and encourages the participant to utilize available services at the level the participant is willing to accept. The psychiatrist participates in daily team meetings, Individual Treatment Team planning meetings, and family meetings.
