New Crisis Receiving Center In Prince William County Hiring For Various Positions

WOODBRIDGE, VA — As a 24/7 crisis receiving center prepares to open in Prince William County, hiring is underway for various positions at the facility.

Connections Health Solutions, which Prince William County contracted to lead the facility, is hosting a hiring event for the Connections Prince William Crisis Receiving Center at 14011 Worth Avenue in Woodbridge. Hiring will take place Wednesday, Aug. 13, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m., and Thursday, Aug. 14, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at 14011 Worth Avenue, Suite 140 in Woodbridge. Applicants are invited to walk in with their resume.

Available positions include registered nurses and charge nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, behavioral health specialists, case managers, recovery support specialists and therapists. Select full-time positions will come with a commitment bonus.

The new Connections Prince William Crisis Receiving Center at 14011 Worth Avenue in Woodbridge will serve people seeking help voluntarily or facing a temporary detention order for people in crisis. While Prince William County has used mobile crisis teams for years, there has not been a facility for on-site intensive mental health services. That has resulted in higher out-of-area placements for temporary detention orders for Prince William County, overburdened emergency rooms, and overreliance on law enforcement. According to the county, the facility will improve the county's behavioral health system with timely care to reduce the reliance on emergency rooms and law enforcement for mental health and substance use incidents.

The facility will provide 24/7 care for adults and youth in need. Walk-in urgent care, short-term observation using the 23-hour observation model and extended stabilization services will be offered. The Crisis Receiving Center is being led by Connections Health Solutions, which has set up other crisis response centers and mobile crisis units around the U.S. It has another Northern Virginia location in Chantilly.

The Crisis Receiving Center is expected to open and began services in the fall.
