The primary goal of ACT is recovery. The program promotes individual empowerment through the acquisition of resources and skills that help individuals manage mental health and substance use disorders to reach an increased level of independence in the community.

With ACT, clients benefit most because they experience fewer hospitalizations, are less likely to be incarcerated and have more stable housing, all which supports them on the path to recovery.

Severe and persistent mental illness including a diagnosis of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder or bipolar disorder with symptoms resulting in 

•  Significant difficulty completing daily tasks and living independently in the community
•  Continuous high-service needs leading to frequent hospitalizations and incarcerations

The team consists of thirteen staff members including a psychiatrist, nurses, case managers, an employment specialist, peer support specialists, and a substance use disorder specialist.

Clients participate in services while in their homes, at work and in other community settings where  support is needed.

Services are available seven days a week. The ACT Team schedules around the needs of clients to serve them at the times they desire. Staff coordinate closely with 24-hour emergency services at times of crisis.

Clients participate in the services and supports for as long as they need them.

The team maintains a 1:10 clinical staff to client ratio in order to provide frequent, intensive and personalized care.
