Victoria, Canada AVI Health and Community Services Full time

**AVI Health & Community Services (AVI)** is a multi-disciplinary community-based organisation providing HIV, hepatitis C and harm reduction services out of 5 locations across Vancouver Island. AVI provides services to people living with HIV and hepatitis C and harm reduction clients. We take evidence-based action to prevent infection, provide support, and reduce stigma. We work within a social justice and health promotion framework to ensure equity and access to services for all.

Join our supportive, dedicated and client-centred team in promoting the health, dignity and well-being of all people affected by HIV, HCV and substance use by delivering sex-positive and harm reduction-based education, prevention and/or support services.

**AVI COMMUNITY-LED CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM (CLCR)**:
The AVI Community-Led Crisis Response Team (CLCR) is funded by the Province of British Columbia and the Canadian Mental Health Association. CLCR is a peer-assisted care program and a mobile crisis response team, led by persons with lived/living experience and mental health professionals who are able to de-escalate crises and develop community care plans with persons experiencing crisis.

The CLCR Team is an alternate approach to responding to someone in crisis that focuses on health, well-being and community support. Utilizing a community-based, client centered, trauma-informed response, a peer-assisted model of care has been proven to help individuals navigate mental and social care services and reduce engagement with the justice system and emergency services.

The CLCR team provides services on the territories of the Ləkʷəŋən peoples (Esquimalt and Songhees nations).

**JOB SUMMARY**:
The CLCR team will provide acute mobile crisis support and de-escalation services for persons 13 years of age and older experiencing mental health and/or substance use

related crises. CLCR Coordinators report to the CLCR Team Manager and are responsible for the supervision and support of the CLCR Team, including the daily operation and systems of this service. The coordinator position is not an office job and requires Coordinators to remain responsive and flexible to the daily demands; including attending calls, performing outreach, meeting with community stakeholders and being within the staff work area.
