Job DescriptionPURPOSE OF POSITION:Critical Time Intervention (CTI) is an evidence-based model designed to support patients with complex needs in achieving full and healthy lives. It focuses on promoting community integration, enhancing self-efficacy, and building a robust network of formal and informal supports.
