Integrated Behavioral Health Fellow, ASW (Bilingual)

Overview Marin Community Clinics, founded in 1972, is today, a multi-clinic network with a wide array of integrated primary care, dental, behavioral, specialty and referral services. As a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC), we provide vital health services to almost 40,000 individuals annually in Marin County. The Clinics regularly receive national awards from the Health Resources and Services Administrations (HRSA). Our Mission is to promote health and wellness through excellent, compassionate care for all. At Marin Community Clinics, we are passionate about all things integrated behavioral health (IBH). IBH “blends care in one setting for medical conditions and related behavioral health factors that affect health and well-being. Integrated behavioral health care, a part of “whole-person care,” is a rapidly emerging shift in the practice of high-quality health care. It is a core function of the “advanced patient-centered medical home.” (AHRQ). We know that 70% of primary care visits are rooted in psychosocial concerns, and that providing integrated behavioral care in a medical setting leads to better health outcomes. IBH is an evidence-based service model that integrates behavioral health services (psychotherapy, psychiatry, substance use disorder counseling, and case management) into primary care. As a “safety net” health center serving a largely Latinx and Spanish-speaking population. Our goal is to provide mentorship and support bilingual (English-Spanish) MSW graduates who will complete the Fellowship to become highly skilled, culturally responsive, and trauma aware clinicians that better represent the communities we serve. We believe that a mentored Fellowship represents a critical component of growing the next generation of IBH clinicians and leaders. The Fellowship is a two-year paid program designed to meet the requirements for licensure in the State of California . Fellows will be immersed in a medical clinic and obtain hands on training and experience working within an IBH Model. Fellows will become adept at assessment, individual and group treatment, case management, and consultation skills. There are two tracks available for graduates, one Child & Family-focused and the other as an “IBH generalist”. Upon completion of the Fellowship, Fellows will be competitive applicants for positions at Marin Community Clinics as well as other team-based clinical settings.
