Social Worker (MSW), Forensic Outreach - 1 position

Forensic Outreach
Southwest Centre for Forensic Mental Health Care - St. Thomas, ON
Temporary Full Time
Salary Range: $44.67 - $57.90 /hour

The Forensic Psychiatry Program has adopted the Psychosocial Rehabilitation and Recovery Model as its overarching philosophical framework. This philosophy is built on a set of principles and values that emphasize client and family involvement in decision making, client choice, the provision of a range of services to meet treatment, rehabilitation and support needs, and a commitment from mental health services' professionals to achieving the best possible outcomes for clients based on their stated preferences, wishes, desires and life plans. As part of the forensic system, this must also be accomplished within the parameters defined by the Ontario Review Board within each patient's Disposition order. The Forensic Psychiatry Program is also highly invested in both education and research and has various connections with the University of Western Ontario.

Reporting to the forensic clinical manager, this individual will work with the Southwest Centre for Forensic Mental Health Care (SWC) and with the Developmental Services (DS) sector for engagement in situations where a person with developmental disabilities appears to be on a forensic trajectory. This includes assisting in the management of specific challenging situations to help the sector develop capacity to manage challenging individuals without criminalization. The engagement can include relationship building and community support liaison, education and training, and consultation on case specific scenarios. Support for management of case specific scenarios would be supported in the context of an interprofessional team approach that the engagement staff would access through the Forensic Outreach service.
