SUB. LANCE USE COUNSEL <br />The role of the Substance Use Counselor is to address clients who by their own admission suffer <br />from the negative Impact of substance use in their lives. Counselors will use a "Harm Reduction" <br />approach when making contact with clients. The Harm Reduction model recognizes that each <br />individual has the right to self-determination. We have had success with this approach, seeing <br />numerous clients modify or discontinue use of substances. Counselors will be able to reflect back <br />some of the negative and lasting effects that substance use may be having in a client's life, and <br />offer them the therapeutic tools and support to build their own customized Recovery Plan. <br />BEHAUMA .1S1EALTHTHERAPY <br />The role of the Behavioral Health Therapist Is to build trust and rapport with the client in an <br />attempt to address possible past traumatic episodes. Using evidence -based practices, a <br />Behavioral HealthTliempist who is able to gain the bust of their client can, in many cases, <br />deliver services that assists the client with processing their past life experiences that have kept <br />them from being able to move forward into stability. This plays a key role in preparing long-term <br />or chronically homeless individuals for the possibility of being housed and remaining stably <br />housed. <br />The Navigation Center will include: <br />• Sleeping Area <br />• Pet Accommodations <br />• Dining/Commons Area <br />• Food Storage, Refrigeration, and Prep Area <br />• Security Offices/Station <br />• Site -Administration and Operations Offices <br />• Intake and Private Meeting Areas <br />• Restroom and Shower Areas <br />• Laundry Facilities <br />• Client Storage Area <br />• Recreational Opportunities <br />• Access to Computers <br />In addition, the site will also feature: <br />• Outdoor Facilides/Areas <br />• Bike Rack Area <br />• Outdoor Commons <br />• Pet Area <br />
