Purpose

Creation of one full time Crisis Intervention Worker position for the Sauk County Department of Human Services, effective January 1, 2020.

Background

The Sauk County Department of Human Services has evaluated its use of crisis workers within the Mental Health and Recovery Services unit, and this evaluation process has determined the need for an increase of crisis staff to serve crisis cases.  This service is mandated by State Statutes and serves to manage risk by reducing costly placements.  In addition, the crisis unit moved from being a contracted service to internal service provision of services in early 2019.  There is some revenue generated for this position.  Sauk County Department of Human Services is requesting authorization of one full time (1.0 FTE) Crisis Intervention Worker position to serve the residents of Sauk County effective January 1, 2020.
