ACT (Assertive Community Treatment)

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a comprehensive mental health service approach designed for individuals with severe mental illnesses. It involves a team of professionals, including therapists, nurses, and social workers, who provide personalized care and support in the community, rather than in traditional office settings. The goal is to help individuals manage their symptoms, improve their daily functioning, and maintain independence. ACT emphasizes continuous support, often involving regular home visits, to ensure that clients receive the help they need in real-life situations, fostering a stronger sense of connection and stability.
