ABOUT MARIPOSA COUNTY Mariposa County is located in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, with the central portion of Yosemite National Park comprising the eastern section of the County. There are no incorporated cities or even any traffic signals in the county--it is instead known for its amazing scenery, outdoor attractions, and history made famous by the California Gold Rush in the 1800's. "Mariposa," translates to "butterflies" from Spanish, and the town of Mariposa was so named by Spanish explorers because of the vast clusters of butterflies found there. In honor of this, each year in May, residents commemorate the annual arrival of the migrating monarch butterflies with a "Butterfly Days" festival and parade. The county is an amazing place to call "home"--a key objective is to maintain clean water, wildlife preservation, healthy ecosystems, clean air, and a fire-safe environment. The climate is sunny and comfortable for much of the year. The area's spectacular scenery, a multitude of things to enjoy, including fishing, hiking, gold panning, arts and culture, spas, breweries and more, and its historic roots make this a sought-after place of residence as well as a popular vacation destination.

ABOUT MARIPOSA COUNTY Mariposa County is located in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, with the central portion of Yosemite National Park comprising the eastern section of the County. There are no incorporated cities or even any traffic signals in the county--it is instead known for its amazing scenery, outdoor attractions, and history made famous by the California Gold Rush in the 1800's. "Mariposa," translates to "butterflies" from Spanish, and the town of Mariposa was so named by Spanish explorers because of the vast clusters of butterflies found there. In honor of this, each year in May, residents commemorate the annual arrival of the migrating monarch butterflies with a "Butterfly Days" festival and parade. The county is an amazing place to call "home"--a key objective is to maintain clean water, wildlife preservation, healthy ecosystems, clean air, and a fire-safe environment. The climate is sunny and comfortable for much of the year. The area's spectacular scenery, a multitude of things to enjoy, including fishing, hiking, gold panning, arts and culture, spas, breweries and more, and its historic roots make this a sought-after place of residence as well as a popular vacation destination.

The central philosophy of the Center is "The Opposite of Addiction is Not Sobriety. The Opposite of Addiction is Connection" (Johann Hari). The CORE Centers will serve as a welcoming environment to address questions about SUDs and services including risk reduction (e.g., fentanyl test strips), prevention (e.g., brief intervention, youth development), and treatment (e.g., outpatient, residential, medications for addiction treatment [MAT]).

Create, implement, and sustain a clinical training plan for Substance Abuse Counselors to ensure competencies in the areas of screening and assessment, referrals and placement, group/workshop facilitation, individual services, evidenced-based practices (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing), community outreach and engagement, creating a safe and welcoming space to conduct services; ensure that staff at each site conduct services following the same standard and in alignment with the service model and branding for the CORE Centers; and coordinate training curricula development and fidelity (train-the-trainer) with SAPC's Clinical Standards and Training Unit to ensure consistency and documentation in personnel files. Create and ensure on-going opportunities (e.g., advisory committee, listening sessions) for community members, both youth and adults, to provide input on what and how clinical and other services are provided at these sites, including ensuring that Substance Abuse Counselors are sufficiently trained to facilitate guided discussions that elicit feedback in an unbiased manner and enabling all to participate; ensure that community input is considered, and in some cases guides, service modifications; and support review of data to ensure services adjust based on changes to local substance use related needs and associated risk factors, and to maintain relevance of these services and be able to adapt quickly to changing conditions.

The CORE Centers will serve as a welcoming environment to address questions about SUDs and services including risk reduction (e.g., fentanyl test strips), prevention (e.g., brief intervention, youth development), and treatment (e.g., outpatient, residential, medications for addiction treatment [MAT]). Additional services will include: conducting in-person screening and referral services (e.g., linkage to physical or mental health services); trainings on naloxone (opioid overdose medication) administration and distribution of supplies/prescriptions; conducting individual education and group discussions; making connections to support services (e.g., benefit acquisition, interim and permanent supportive housing, family reunification, etc.); and when feasible, serving as a venue for partner entities to conduct supplemental workshops. There will be specific programming to support families and friends of loved ones struggling with addiction. Examples of workshops may include: (1) overdose prevention options; (2) MAT options; (3) SUD no-cost benefit package; (4) reducing stigma of SUD; (5) recovery support services; (6) how to help your loved one; (7) what to know before treatment; (8) safe injection services; (8) community driven strategies to address SUD at the local level; (9) your teen and substance use; and (10) your teen and vaping. Central to the CORE model will be the ability of the assigned Substance Abuse Counselors (SACs) at each site to foster engagement and connection in an environment that educates equally on all service options (risk reduction to abstinence) without judgement on the individual's readiness to change (e.g., precontemplation, contemplation, action etc.). Services will be available to the public, and particularly those who are Medi-Cal or My Health LA eligible or enrolled. Agreement to be referred to treatment (when indicated) will not be a condition to receive other CORE Center referrals/services. Most services will be delivered by the SACs, however, prevention and treatment providers, and other community-based organizations will be engaged to conduct specialized workshops to support the needs of individuals and families seeking care. Essential Job Functions Launch and manage day-to-day clinical and programmatic operations of each of the five CORE Centers that function as community spaces that foster a sense of collaboration, self-efficacy, empowerment to act, recognition of the importance of self-care and decreased family isolation and internalized blame; and provide support to individuals at-risk for substance (ab)use, individuals seeking substance use services, and family members needing resources to better support family/friends who are not ready to seek care; oversee the programmatic and clinical duties of 10 Substance Abuse Counselor staff; and coordinate with host site management to ensure effective program implementation. Ensure services are delivered in alignment with the patient/community centered manner, including; (A) create a clinically inviting program and facility environment where the community can participate in services that improve systems and processes to increase the ease, ability, and opportunity to utilize substance use prevention and treatment services and other health, social and legal services; (B) develop trainings and workshops in coordination with SAPC's Clinical Standards and Training Unit; and (C) conduct training on how to deliver peer-to-peer coaching (e.g., navigators, mentors, promotoras) for a wide range of assistance and support issues to assist those in crisis feel less alone and gain hope. Create, implement, and sustain a clinical training plan for Substance Abuse Counselors to ensure competencies in the areas of screening and assessment, referrals and placement, group/workshop facilitation, individual services, evidenced-based practices (e.g., Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing), community outreach and engagement, creating a safe and welcoming space to conduct services; ensure that staff at each site conduct services following the same standard and in alignment with the service model and branding for the CORE Centers; and coordinate training curricula development and fidelity (train-the-trainer) with SAPC's Clinical Standards and Training Unit to ensure consistency and documentation in personnel files. Create and ensure on-going opportunities (e.g., advisory committee, listening sessions) for community members, both youth and adults, to provide input on what and how clinical and other services are provided at these sites, including ensuring that Substance Abuse Counselors are sufficiently trained to facilitate guided discussions that elicit feedback in an unbiased manner and enabling all to participate; ensure that community input is considered, and in some cases guides, service modifications; and support review of data to ensure services adjust based on changes to local substance use related needs and associated risk factors, and to maintain relevance of these services and be able to adapt quickly to changing conditions. Ensure that Substance Abuse Counselors enter patient information accurately within the Electronic Health Record (EHR-Sage) and complete required documentation per the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment Block Grant, Prevention Set-Aside on-time and accurately; and take on cases when patient needs exceed the capabilities of the Substance Abuse Counselor or when cases are complicated.
