Job Description

The Bureau of Mental Health’s (BMH) mission is to improve mental health and wellness for people in New York City, and to eliminate racial and other long-standing societal disparities by providing services, resources, and opportunities to New Yorkers that are grounded in accurate, data-driven information that fosters community participation, thus reducing the stigma around mental health. The Office of Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) is responsible for the management and oversight of the Assisted Outpatient Treatment Program in New York City. The New York State Legislature passed Kendra’s law as an amendment to the Mental Hygiene Law to allow for outpatient civil commitment of individuals with histories of serious mental illness, difficulty engaging in rehabilitation, and who present high risk to themselves or the community. The program enables these individuals to live safely in the community, avoid repeated inpatient hospitalizations, and ensure they have access to comprehensive outpatient services.

It is impossible to run an AOT team without the Community Mental Health Monitor. Community Mental Health Monitors are needed to monitor and ensure compliance of court orders and voluntary agreements for those individuals determined to be eligible for the program, making this position critical to the daily operation of the program.

Job Duties and Responsibilities: Working closely with mental health providers and staff from the Office of Assisted Outpatient Treatment, the Community Mental Health Monitor will:

• Monitor and evaluate the community service providers’ engagement with consumers assigned to their services through a court ordered treatment plan.

• Monitor weekly contact with community service providers responsible for Care Coordinator (CC), Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), or Intensive Mobile Treatment (IMT) services, to ensure they are fulfilling their required responsibilities.

• Verify consumer community services monthly by completing the monthly service verification.

• Ensure that treatment plans are complete timely.

• Make recommendations on policies and procedures for the AOT Teams and community providers to improve consumer’s adherence to treatment plans while in the community.

• Monitor, follow-up, and document significant events as reported by the community providers, timely and according to the policy and procedure guidelines.

• Participate in case conferences with community partners to discuss consumer eligibility for AOT as well as progress under the court order.

• Maintain consumers’ electronic and hard cover records.

• Collaborate with other community treatment/service providers and/or hospitals regarding current consumers.

Preferred Skills:

• Extensive knowledge of community mental health resources; excellent interpersonal and communication skills; ability to interface with service providers from all sectors of the service system; and strong organizational skills.

• Master’s in Social Work
