Colorado coalition for the homeless

Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner - 10792

Denver, CO Full Time
The mission of the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is to work collaboratively toward the prevention of homelessness and the creation of lasting solutions for homeless and at-risk families, children, and individuals throughout Colorado. The Coalition advocates for and provides a continuum of housing and a variety of services to improve the health, well-being, and stability of those it serves.
 
Our Philosophy of Service: We believe all people have the right to adequate housing and health care. We work to remove the barriers that restrict access to these rights. Society benefits when adequate housing and health care are available to everyone. We create lasting solutions to homelessness by: 
·         Honoring the inherent dignity of those we serve, affirming their capabilities and fostering their hope that a better life is possible. 
·         Building strong, caring and trauma-informed communities through the integration of housing, health care and supportive services. 
·         Advocating for social and racial equity, inclusion and diversity, and challenging the status quo in partnership with our workforce members and those we serve. 
·         Achieving excellence through continuous quality assurance, innovation and professional development. 
·         Using resources judiciously and effectively.  



The Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner works closely with Primary Care Medical Providers and Behavioral Health Providers to support patients with severe and ongoing mental health needs. This role provides psychiatric evaluations, medication management, and follow-up care, primarily at the Stout Street Health Center. The position focuses on delivering integrated, trauma-informed care to individuals experiencing homelessness or housing instability and may also provide services across other Colorado Coalition for the Homeless programs, including Housing Support Services, Street Outreach, and Recuperative Care.
