JOB REQUIREMENTS: Are you passionate about mental health? Looking to
make some extra money in a part-time capacity? We\'ve got the job for
you! Due to the occasional need to respond to a crisis in-person,
responders must live within a reasonable distance to respond, generally
defined as less than 30 minutes from downtown La Crosse. If you are an
experienced mental health professional with some flexibility to work
about twice a week in an on-call capacity, we have the perfect
opportunity for you to use your expertise to better our community while
earning some extra income. As a Mental Health Crisis Responder, you will
be the person that answers a call for help from individuals/families who
are experiencing mental health crises within La Crosse County. Calls may
include individuals experiencing an increase in symptoms, those who may
pose a threat of harm to themselves or others, or those who are
otherwise in need of mental health support. Response may be handled by
phone or on-site evaluation and support, depending on the call. This is
a rewarding, fast-paced and challenging role, ideal for a person with a
strong sense of empathy, decision making skills and ability to
collaborate with community partners. Wisconsin Certified Crisis Program
paid training is provided at onset of employment. This on-call position
offers flexible part-time scheduling that can often work around other
schedule commitments. Pay: While performing Crisis work, which involves
answering calls, conducting assessments, documenting, consulting,
traveling, training, and attending monthly meetings, the pay is \$25.79
per hour. While on-call and not actively working Crisis, the pay is
\$2.00 per hour. Responders provide on-call coverage for Mobile Crisis
Services on a rotating basis with other similarly employed persons to
cover shifts as listed below: Early Shift-Weekdays (Mon. through Fri.)
