Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a consumer-centered, recovery-oriented mental health service delivery model that is designed to work closely with individuals providing comprehensive community-based treatment. It is a self-contained program made up of a multidisciplinary mental health staff, including a peer specialist. ACT services are targeted to individuals with severe and persistent mental illnesses that cause significant impairments and symptoms. Individuals who have had a history of struggling to access or respond to traditional mental health services or difficulty fitting into their community are considered appropriate for this service. The ACT team provides a majority of their interventions in the home and community setting. The program also provides services to individuals who are homeless or in imminent risk of becoming homeless.
