About the Role

The Aid and Assist Case Manager works directly with individuals in pretrial status facing criminal charges. The court has determined these individuals lack the mental fitness to aid & assist in their own legal defense. The court refers individuals to KBBH for community restoration consults, which could result in hospital-level of care placement with the Oregon State Hospital (OSH).

The Aid & Assist Case Manager remains involved throughout the duration of these legal proceedings.

Aid & Assist Case Manager is responsible for the delivery of direct clinical services to clients at the Klamath County Jail, Klamath Community Corrections Center, and in the community. Direct clinical services may include, legal skills, case management, skills building attending OSH meetings, and other duties as assigned.
