The Power of Assertive Community Treatment

Assertive Community Treatment, known as ACT, is a holistic and evidence-based approach to mental health care. It is designed to help people with severe and persistent mental illness to live and work in the community. The core principle of ACT is to provide mental health services for any individual to resume typical behaviors in their community. Our ACT team consists of a diverse group of professionals, including psychiatrists, nurses, therapists, and case managers, working together to ensure individuals receive the best care possible.

A Multidisciplinary Approach to Flourish

Our multidisciplinary ACT team works collaboratively to address all aspects of an individual's life. From medication management and therapy to vocational support and same-day in-person appointments, we leave no stone unturned. By adopting a comprehensive approach, we can identify and address the underlying factors that may contribute to mental health challenges. With our supportive approach, individuals are better equipped to manage their symptoms and achieve their goals.

Moreover, our ACT team doesn't just provide support during office hours. We meet individuals where they are most comfortable, whether it's at home, school, or in the community. This unique approach fosters trust and strengthens the therapeutic relationship, making positive change more attainable. At CPMHS, our ACT program is a lifeline of hope, guiding individuals toward a brighter and more fulfilling future.

A Bridge To Provide Stabilization

One of the significant benefits of ACT is its ability to reduce the need for repeated psychiatric hospitalizations. By providing proactive and intensive care, our ACT team can help stabilize individuals and prevent crises from escalating. The result is a significant decrease in hospitalizations, allowing individuals to lead more stable and satisfying lives within their community.

At CPMHS, we understand that the journey toward mental wellness is unique for each person. Our ACT program is designed to support individuals in their time of need, providing them with the tools and resources to manage their mental health effectively. Through early intervention and personalized care, we aim to empower individuals to achieve their goals and lead meaningful lives.
