• Participate in interdisciplinary rounds, team meetings, supervision, and ongoing professional development activities. Utilize recoveryoriented principles including client choice, empowerment, hope, advocacy, meaningful engagement, and collaboration with identified supports to facilitate clientcentered care and recovery goals.
• Provide integrated assessment and intervention for individuals experiencing challenges related to cooccurring conditions and chronic health concerns.
• Gather collateral information and provide treatment updates, as appropriate, to support treatment planning, disposition planning, and continuity of care.
• Demonstrate the physical and psychological ability to engage in or support physical interventions when necessary to ensure safety and leastrestrictive care.
