Assertive Community Treatment

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a comprehensive mental health approach designed to support individuals with severe mental illnesses in their everyday lives. Instead of just seeing patients in a clinic, a dedicated team of professionals—such as psychiatrists, nurses, and social workers—provides personalized care directly in the community. This means they meet people where they are, helping them with daily activities, housing, employment, and medication management. The goal is to enhance their quality of life, reduce hospitalizations, and promote independence through continuous, individualized support tailored to each person's needs.
