Gem Pocatello Clinic Aide (900)

The Gem State Public Health AmeriCorps program places community members with non-profits and public health organizations across the state in paid volunteer positions called AmeriCorps positions. These positions provide an education award and professional experience in a public health setting focusing service on mental health, and suicide intervention and prevention services. The opportunity is offered each year from September 1st to August 31st. The Pocatello Clinic Aid will help increase, expand, and/or enhance health programs and services by helping patients and/or clients along in the intake process, model mental health coping skills and strategies needed for resiliency, while actively listening for indicators that the patient/client needs access to mental health resources and discreetly providing those resources to the patient.
