Job description
Why join Connections If you’re passionate about making a meaningful impact, working in a mission-driven environment, and helping redefine behavioral health crisis care, we invite you to join us at Connections Health Solutions.
Together, we’re saving lives and changing the face of behavioral health.
About Connections We’re not just behavioral health people—we’re crisis people.
When individuals need support now, we provide immediate-access behavioral health crisis care that stabilizes, supports, and connects people to the resources they need to continue their recovery.
Founded by emergency room psychiatrists, our physician-led, data-driven model is backed by more than 15 years of crisis care expertise.
Recognized by SAMHSA and the National Council for Mental Wellbeing as a national best practice, we’ve delivered critical crisis care to thousands of people during some of the most challenging moments of their lives.
Our mission is simple and unwavering: providing immediate care to people in crisis and connecting them to long-term support within their community.
About the RESET Center, operated by Connections Located in San Francisco’s South of Market neighborhood, the RESET Center provides an alternative destination for individuals who are found to be publicly intoxicated (due to alcohol and/or drugs) and would otherwise be transported to the emergency department or jail.
In collaboration and partnership with local law enforcement and public health agencies, the RESET Center aims to effectively divert intoxicated individuals away from the criminal justice and/or healthcare systems to improve outcomes, reduce systemic burden, and support connection to needed resources within the community.
What You'll Do: The Case Manager at the RESET Center provides person-centered care coordination, engagement, and discharge planning to individuals utilizing the sobering program.
Working from a harm-reduction and trauma-informed approach, the CM supports participants in stabilizing safely, explores immediate needs, and connects them to ongoing services in the community.
This role conducts brief screenings and assessments, engages in crisis de-escalation when needed, and collaborates closely with community partners—including onsite Sheriff’s staff, local law enforcement, emergency departments, and outpatient providers—to facilitate rapid discharge and seamless linkage to care.
The CM ensures participants leave the program with clear next steps and access to resources that promote health, recovery, and stability.
