Purpose

Authorizing the creation of one full tie Crisis Supervisor Position for the Sauk County Department of Human Services, effective January 1, 2020.

Background

The Sauk County Department of Human Services has evaluated its supervision of crisis staff within the Mental Health and Recovery Services unit.  The number of hours for service in Sauk County increased in 2018-2019 by 14% and is expected to increase in 2020.  In addition, the demand for Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) services has increased by 50% in the past year.  Crisis services are 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 and the licensed mental health/AODA clinic shifted to an addition of walk-in service as well as scheduled appointments; walk-ins have increased by 40% in the past year.  This supervisor position will also provide direct mental health, substance abuse, and crisis services to consumers.  Sauk County Department of Human Services is requesting authorization of one full time (1.0 FTE) Crisis Supervisor position to serve the residents of Sauk County effective January 1, 2020.
