Manager Continuous Treatment Team
Riverbend Community Mental Health
Program providing total, integrated service to the most acute of the chronically mentally ill population on an outreach basis. Did the initial grant and pilot project for the Division of Mental Health. Designed by mandate to be non-traditional, innovative and unorthodox.
Planned, developed, implemented and directed the first Continuous Tx Team on the East Coast. Highly successful. All new programs on the East Coast were patterned after it and led to the ACT programs and Intensive Treatment programs. Provided medication monitoring, crisis intervention, counseling and case management services.
Did extensive research, marketing, consultation, liaison work and PR in preparation for program startup.
