Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)
ACT is an effective evidence-based, outreach-oriented approach for helping people with severe and persistent mental illnesses who have avoided or not responded well to traditional outpatient mental health care and psychiatric rehabilitation services. Using a treatment team approach, staff provides comprehensive community-based psychiatric treatment, rehabilitation and support.
Out-of-Home Services
Our drop-in, outreach and referral services screen walk-in individuals in order to link them to appropriate behavioral health services and resources. Crisis stabilization services are also available to adults in an emergency mental health situation who do not require psychiatric hospitalization. During a brief stay, adults receive individualized help that includes one-on-one support as well as supportive counseling with an emphasis on medication compliance and management, interpersonal skills, and crisis response and prevention.
Children and Family Services
Behavioral health services are provided for children and families in need. These include a therapeutic group home, intensive case-management services, Homebuilders family preservation and reunification services, therapeutic foster care placement and support, and outpatient counseling.
