Co-Responder Case Manager

Co-Responder Case Manager

The role of the Co-Responder Case Manager is to work in collaboration with law enforcement or emergency medical technicians to respond to community members whose need for urgent intervention was reported through the Emergency Communication Center (911). The Co-Responder team specializes in de-escalation, problem-solving, risk assessment, and community resource linkage. The Co-Responder works closely with the Montrose Police Department, and Montrose County Sheriff's office as well as partner agencies in Delta County. Co-Responder teams improve interactions between law enforcement, first responders, and the people they serve. Communities also recognize savings by connecting people to appropriate services and resources, rather than using more costly, higher-level interventions.

The Case Manager will utilize a working knowledge of crisis intervention approaches to provide intervention, support, risk evaluation and triage services for all populations utilizing the 911 system within Montrose and Delta Counties. The Case Manager will serve as a first responder to connect those experiencing issues related to mental illness, substance use, and social determinants of health to resources. The Case Manager will actively participate in patient continuity of care, brief counseling, referral, and prompt documentation. This includes an intense focus on community resourcing and linkage, requiring strong interpersonal skills and collaboration.
