The ACT program is designed to meet the needs of the chronically mentally ill in the local community.  The main emphasis is to provide services in the settings where they live and work and to teach the skills essential to a safe and successful community tenure.  The program also provides various services to at-risk consumers.  As program attendees become more stable and self-sufficient, they work together with the staff to explore less intensive treatment options that will continue to support community tenure and maximum functionality.

Individualized Treatment

Staff and clients in the ACT program work together in identifying goals and strategies to help the consumer.  Individualized day-to-day assistance and support in areas of living (such as housing, finance/benefits, employment and accessing community resources) are available. 

Clinical Services

Who is Eligible

The ACT program serves high-risk consumers who may have a history of multiple and long-term psychiatric admissions, frequent Emergency Room visits, high rate of contact with Law Enforcement and a diagnosis of serious and persistent mental illness with or without co-occurring disorder.

Referrals to the ACT program may be made by professional mental health staff.
