ASSERTIVE COMMUNITY TREATMENT

Federation’s mobile, interdisciplinary ACT teams work with people in NYC and Suffolk County who have not had good treatment results with traditional mental health services.  Visiting with participants in their homes, or in the community where they wish to meet, the ACT Team provides full clinical, community living, employment and recovery support services.  It also coordinates medical, financial, and legal services.  Recognizing the person's unique cultural and spiritual dimensions, the aim of the team is to provide the support necessary for participants to reach maximum recovery and live as independently as possible while making progress toward personal goals.  Team members include a Psychiatrist, Peer Specialists, a Registered Nurse, Social Workers, Family Specialist, Addictions Counselor, and an Employment Specialist.
