Openings for three collaborative and organized Mental Health Professionals with outstanding communication skills to respond and provide appropriate interventions to individuals in the community, alongside law enforcement, using aspects of the North Sound’s Response, Awareness, De-escalation and Referral (RADAR) program.

What will this person do?

Mental Health Professionals are shared by the five local "North Sound" jurisdictions (Bothell, Kirkland, Kenmore, Shoreline and Lake Forest Park) and all aspects of the North Sound's Response, Awareness, De-escalation and Referral program, or RADAR; a program designed to give police access to Mental Health Professionals who can connect individuals with behavioral health needs to resources; thereby, reducing the need for police and other emergency services.
