Mental health support staff have the opportunity to interact with clients on a day-to-day basis. During the day, mental health support specialists participate in client intake, crisis care and inpatient care, including assistance with clinical skills, like taking vital signs, as well as some activities of daily living, or ADLs. They support and assist the client through all phases of treatment, helping to provide a physically safe and therapeutic environment, which may include encouraging the client to participate in group therapy. Mental health support specialists also support the client by communicating observations and concerns to the client's mental health care team. Accurate documentation of both clinical duties and observations are a key responsibility of the mental health support specialist.
