patients in challenging clinical environments. Our talented,
compassionate team thrives in an autonomous environment, is
empowered and supported by education, training and the resources to
practice healthcare the way it is meant to be and strives to
"Always Do The Right Thing!"OverviewUnder the direction of the
Health Services Administrator (HSA), Program Manager (PM), or
higher licensed health professional, the Program Director is a
licensed, Masters prepared clinician, a licensed Psychologist, or a
Registered Psychological Assistant who is responsible for the
oversight of the Jail Based Competency Treatment (JBCT) program.
The Program Director will provide supervision to staff, be the
primary designee for communications between JBCT stakeholders (the
Sheriff's Office, Department of State Hospitals (DSH), the courts,
etc.), monitor program outcomes and success, and maintain Policy &
Procedure adherence.Additional DetailsLMFT, LCSW, PSY/ PhD, or
registration as a Psychological Assistant"The Jail Based Competency
Treatment (JBCT) programs are a special collaboration between
Sheriff's Offices, the CA Department of State Hospitals (DSH), and
Wellpath. The purpose of the program is to offer competency
restoration treatment to patients who are Incompetent to Stand
Trial (IST), so that they can proceed in their court case, and move
on with their lives. However, the DSH has historically long wait
times and bed shortages for this treatment, resulting in longer
than reasonable wait times for patients to begin treatment.
Therefore, the DSH, local Sheriff's Offices, and Wellpath have
partnered to deliver the program in the jails to reduce the wait
times for patients to begin treatment. The JBCT programs are a
"mini psychiatric state hospital" embedded within the jail, and
patients receive treatment in a more timely manner than if they had
to wait for a bed in the hospital. The JBCT Program treatment
includes all the same things as in the DSH facilities: daily
competency training groups, daily psychoeducational groups, weekly
individual meetings for clinical support and educational tutoring,
medication management, psychological assessment, social milieu
time, incentives, and much more! Wellpath is proud of its JBCT
programs, and believes that the JBCT programs embody Wellpath's
mission: To Hope and Healing."QualificationsEducation:
