Organization:
Community Connections, Inc.
The Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams provide comprehensive, community-based, psychiatric treatment, rehabilitation, and support to persons with serious and persistent mental illness. ACT clients often have co-occurring problems with addiction, homelessness, criminal justice involvement, physical illness, and violent victimization. ACT teams embrace the nationally established Evidence Based Practice Model for ACT and achieve a high level of fidelity to the model. Teams are composed of a psychiatrist, nurse, licensed team supervisor, a peer support specialist, and rehabilitation support staff. Staff may develop sub-specialties in group services, substance abuse treatment, forensic services, parenting interventions, and vocational rehabilitation. ACT teams have small caseloads and work as a tight knit interdisciplinary unit to create opportunities for growth and recovery. Community Connections currently offers two specialty ACT models: TACT (Transitional Age Community Treatment) serving individuals ages 18-29 and two FACT (Forensic Assertive Community Treatment) teams which specialize in working closely with the courts, mental health court, CSOSA, and other other criminal justice systems. The ACT program offers both individual and group services.
