Job Summary: Group Facilitators provide services to adults diagnosed with severe mental illnesses who may also have co-occurring substance use disorders and/or chronic health conditions utilizing a recovery-based and trauma-informed perspective. Group Facilitators operate in a dynamic environment, develop extensive knowledge of community resources, collaborate with interdisciplinary teams and cultivate a clinical skill-set by forging therapeutic relationships with diverse community members. Interventions and services can be both office and community based and may require the use of a personal automobile and cell phone.
Group Facilitators work in partnership with racially and culturally diverse individuals to define and facilitate their desired life outcomes. Group Facilitators primarily provide skills training in a group modality to facilitate the individual's success in achieving and maintaining the maximum possible level of independent functioning.

Group Facilitators may utilize various evidence-based interventions or therapeutic modalities to assist individuals to manage stress and cope effectively during times of crisis or episodes of acute psychiatric symptoms. Group Facilitators also provide training to improve communication and interpersonal behaviors to facilitate integration into the community and to develop natural community supports through social/civic organizations, advocacy groups, religious or cultural affiliations, and/or interpersonal relationships. Work is performed under the general supervision of an LPHA with moderate latitude for the use of initiative and independent judgment.
Regular, predictable attendance is considered to be an essential requirement for this position. Other duties may be assigned. May require a flexible work schedule.
