The Springboard program is a 6 week part-time community day rehabilitation service for people experiencing co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues. The program is designed to offer a more flexible and less intensive approach to treatment, than long-term residential rehabilitation.

The program is underpinned by an Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) framework, and takes a holistic approach to rehabilitation. Springboard comprises a number of service components, delivered directly by Springboard staff or through established working partnerships with other services. These include: psycho-social education and skill building groups, a physical activity program, case management and referral to other supports.

Position Responsibilities include:

• Co-facilitation of day program to clients with co-occurring mental health and AOD concerns
• Work 30 hours per week Monday to Thursday
• Provide case management support to clients including developing and revising individual recovery plans, advocacy and referral to other supports
• Co-Facilitation of aftercare group outside of regular day program hours
• Undertake data collection activities for evaluation and reporting purposes
