Mental Health Technician
Zdalnie
The daily routine for a mental health technician may vary from day to day. Often, mental health technicians are the members of the care team with the most patient contact. They help them get ready for the day, check their vital signs, talk to them to assess their mental state and supervise them while they engage in activities. When needed, mental health technicians may step in to help a nurse, therapist, psychologist or psychiatrist when conducting examinations or leading an individual or group therapy session. At some facilities, they are points of contact for family members and are responsible for communicating about their loved one’s status and progress as allowed by privacy laws.
The primary responsibility of a mental health technician is to ensure that patients are comfortable and safe.
