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.

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.
