Momentum for Mental Health requested information on Assertive Community Treatment training. BJA NTTAC provided the requited with a list of provider that may offer that training in their area.
A number of individuals we work with come to us from criminal justice referrals and/or are at risk as high utilizers of hospital and IMDs. In order to eliminate or reduce the symptoms of severe mental illness and to enhance the individual’s quality of life we emphasize an integrated approach to support the whole person. In order to accomplish this ACT is identified as a means in addition to teaching coping and life skills while working in tandem with the mental illness, ACT, to help reduce hospital stays and jail time for individuals as well. We find our criminal justice clients as well as the more severely mental ill clients are impacted in such a way by mental health, substance abuse and medical challenges and case management needs that traditional treatment approaches and integrated care are insufficient. Training and implementation of ACT's individual highly specialized and personal care every day of the year would provide greater facilitation of structured model fidelity and care that our professionals who have a background in social work, nursing, psychiatry, substance abuse treatment, and case management can use 24/7 for the patient to help in all areas of life. The idea is to provide comprehensive treatment for the maximum level of effectiveness that can help reduce hospital and more acute services while improving quality of life and mental health improvement for this impacted population(s).
