Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a patient-centered approach designed to support individuals with serious mental health issues. Unlike traditional therapy, ACT provides intensive, team-based support that takes place in the community rather than in an office. A diverse team of mental health professionals, including doctors, nurses, and social workers, works closely with patients to help them manage their symptoms, improve daily functioning, and achieve personal goals. The approach focuses on individualized care, ensuring that support is available whenever it’s needed, helping people lead more fulfilling lives while reducing hospitalizations and improving overall quality of life.
