About Portland Street Response (PSR): Portland Street Response, a program within Portland Fire & Rescue, assists people experiencing mental health and behavioral health crises. The goal of Portland Street Response is to update our first responder system by providing an additional compassionate first response option when 911 is called on someone experiencing low-acuity behavioral health issues. PSR is dispatched by The Bureau of Emergency Communications (BOEC) to respond to non-life-threatening crises currently responded to by Police and Fire, such as behavioral health issues and welfare checks. Program Values PSR strives to uplift the dignity and worth of all Portlanders, particularly those who have been historically marginalized and criminalized, by ensuring timely and professional person-centered first response. PSR is situated both in the City of Portland’s first responder system, and in the broader continuum of crisis care. To ensure the best possible outcomes for our clients, we work collaboratively with community partners, health systems, and traditional first responders. PSR operates from a framework of Trauma-Informed Care with the recognition that adverse life experiences (including health systems and carceral trauma) create barriers for clients to connect with the care and supportive services they need to thrive in the community. PSR aims to respond to the complex care needs of individuals experiencing low acuity crises in the community to enable Police and Fire resources to attend to life saving and crime-related calls for service. This program is expected to: Reduce the number of calls traditionally responded to by Police where criminal activity is not present. Reduce the number of individuals transported to the emergency department for low acuity medical related issues that could instead be addressed in a pre-hospital care setting. Reduce the number of behavioral health and substance use/intoxication calls traditionally responded to by Police and Fire. Position Summary Mental Health Crisis Responders I & II will co-respond to non-emergent 911 calls in partnership with an Emergency Medical Technician (EMT) and a Peer Support Specialist. The Mental Health Crisis Responders I & II respond to sub-acute behavioral health and substance use-related crises that present no criminal intent, fire, or medical emergency. The incumbent provides crisis intervention, de-escalation, risk assessment, and other brief behavioral health interventions to clients who are in emotional distress. The incumbent will consider the psychosocial aspects of the behavioral health crisis and engage in appropriate resource and/or service coordination to address precipitating factors and resolve the presenting crisis. The Mental Health Crisis Responder II is distinguished from the Mental Health Crisis Responder I in that the level II provides case consultation and clinical supervision and support to the Mental Health Crisis Responder I’s. Mental Health Crisis Responder II is also expected to participate in on cases that require a higher level of intervention. As the Mental Health Crisis Responder II, you will be responsible for the following: Conduct a Mental Status assessment and formulate clinical impressions based on knowledge of symptom criteria in the most current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). Assume a lead role for assigned Mental Health Crisis Responder I positions by providing case consultation, individual and group clinical supervision, on-scene co-response, and clinical support for complex crisis calls. Provide input for performance reviews of Mental Health Crisis Responder I positions. Provide immediate mobile crisis response to service calls dispatched through the 911 system in the city of Portland per program policies and procedures. Effectively engage with diverse clients across social, cultural, and economic differences in a respectful and collaborative manner. Identify and assess risk factors for harm to self or others in the context of the client’s current psycho-social state via interview with client and with consideration given to collateral information. Consider and articulate potential outcomes of various interventions, discuss their risks and benefits, and formulate why a particular course of action was pursued in lieu of other options. Apply principles of client-centered and trauma-informed, opting for the least intrusive and most supportive intervention. Effectively implement behavioral interventions such as collaborative problem-solving, short-term goal setting, and risk reduction/safety planning in a client-centered manner. Engage in resource and service coordination to de-escalate and resolve the presenting crisis. Coordinate responses to crisis situations with community agencies and service providers. Consult with fellow crew members, supervisors, program managers, and bureau leadership as appropriate.
