Another great program offered is the ACT(Assertive Community Treatment). It is all about providing hands-on, community-based mental health care for individuals who have severe mental illness.
Unlike the more traditional outpatient services,the ACT program steps in for those who have difficulty staying on track with their mental health. Another great thing about this program is that it is built around a team approach.
They have professionals such as psychiatrists, social workers, nurses and vocational specialists who create a personalized program to meet the need of each individual. It is not just about managing symptoms but helping people regain control of their lives that works for them. The ACT team is very involved within the community which helps with individuals who are on the fence about working in a more traditional setting.
