Adult Clinical Team:
A
group of individuals working in collaboration who are actively involved
in a person’s assessment, service planning and service delivery. At a
minimum, the team consists of the person, their guardian (if applicable)
and a qualified behavioral health representative. The team may also
include members of the enrolled person’s family, physical health, mental
health or social service providers, representatives or other agencies

For persons determined to have a serious mental illness, the clinical
team consists of a team leader, a psychiatrist, case manager, vocational
specialist, psychiatric nurse, and other professionals or
paraprofessionals, such as a psychologist, social worker, consumer case
management aide, or rehabilitation specialist, as needed, based on the
client’s needs.
