Job Description

Join Our Compassionate Team

Telecare's mission is to deliver excellent and effective behavioral health services that engage individuals with complex needs in recovering their health, hopes, and dreams. Telecare continues to advance cultural diversity, humility, equity, and inclusion at all levels of our organization by hiring mental health peers, BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, veterans, and all belief systems.

Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) serves individuals with severe and persistent mental illness who also experience difficulties with daily living activities.

PACT services are delivered by a group of transdisciplinary mental health staff who work as a team and provide the majority of the treatment, rehabilitation, and support services consumers need to achieve their goals.

The PACT team is mobile and delivers services in community locations to enable each consumer to find and live in their own residence and find and maintain work in community jobs rather than expecting the consumer to come to the program.
