Role Overview
We're currently looking for a clinically-informed professional to join the Mood & Anxiety (M&A) Program as a Skills Mentor. Reporting to the clinical lead of the M&A Program, the Skills Mentor is a full-time, fully remote role responsible for guiding members through the M&A program by providing DBT skills training and support for enrolled members. In this role, you will focus on psychoeducation, accountability, habit formation, and skills development.
What you’ll do:
- Support member engagement within a modified-Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Program.
- Facilitate acquisition of DBT skills and principles.
- Utilize Motivational Interviewing (MI) strategies to foster engagement, address ambivalence, and problem-solve logistical barriers to participation (e.g., scheduling, motivation).
- Review member progress and skills development to provide personalized support and feedback.
- Communicate regularly with the member’s care team regarding progress or concerns, ensuring a cohesive care team approach.
- Identify risk concerns during calls and execute warm handoffs to clinical leads or SCNs for high-risk situations.
- Document information, maintain accurate records, perform follow-ups, and track progress within several systems – including an EHR – within required timeframes.
- Interact with internal teams such as care support, provider operations, and benefits/billing to ensure a smooth member experience.
- Participate in staff meetings, case consultations, and trainings.
- Follow Spring Health policies and maintain all confidentiality, compliance, and ethical standards.
What success looks like:
- High Engagement: Members consistently attend scheduled coaching calls, actively engage with skills content, and complete the program.
- Caseload Management: Effectively managing a caseload while balancing coaching calls with administrative preparation and documentation.
- Timely Documentation: All member interactions and progress notes are documented accurately and within required timeframes.
- Member Satisfaction: High reported satisfaction from members regarding the support received in habit formation and skill building.
What you’ll bring:
- Bachelor’s degree in psychology or a related field is required; Master’s degree preferred, though this role does not require an active clinical license.
- Minimum of 1-2 years of experience in a direct patient-facing role within a behavioral health setting (i.e., case manager, skills trainer, group facilitator).
- Some knowledge, training, and/or experience with DBT.
- Experience using MI to help members find their own reasons for change and build momentum.
- Excellent listening skills.
