That even has to do with my major. Starting December 3rd I will be the Program Assistant for the South Shore Mental Health PACT team.
"P.A.C.T. (Program of Assertive Community Treatment) is a program that provides community-based treatment for persons with severe and persistent mental illnesses. Staff works as a team to provide services to clients in the program. P.A.C.T. specializes in psychiatry, social work, nursing, housing assistance, substance abuse and vocational rehabilitation. These services are provided 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year."
Basically, I will be responsible for assisting in the proper running of the different aspects of the program. I of course left the actually job description of the position in the car but it is a really great stepping stone position with great benefits (i.e. tuition remission and a great P.T.O. package)
Time for me to try and get some sleep. I'm going to Boston tomorrow to try and get some Christmas shopping done.
