About the ACT Program

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) was created in the 1970s and is one of the oldest and most widely researched evidence-based practices working with severe mental illness adult clients, ages 25 and older. By providing person-centered assistance including housing, recovery, vocational support, nurse/psychiatrist, and therapist services, we enable clients to eventually transition to lower levels of care programs or move toward independence, increasing their quality of life. Clients may include adults with a history of trauma, homelessness, frequent hospital stays, refugees, and clients who have not responded well to traditional outpatient care.
