As a Mental Health Assistant (MHA), my responsibilities encompass providing direct support to students and clients exhibiting challenging behaviors, often akin to autism or characterized by behavioral disorders, within residential and educational environments. I facilitate skill development, assist with daily living activities, execute treatment plans, mitigate problematic behaviors, and uphold a secure and structured setting. Furthermore, as a Residential Overnight Supervisor, I ensure safety and the continuity of treatment by supervising overnight staff during nocturnal hours, monitoring students through video and digital systems, and responding appropriately to crises within residences.
