About Philadelphia ACT:
Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is an evidence-based psychiatric practice that provides a team-based, comprehensive approach to care for individuals with severe mental illness. ACT uses a multidisciplinary team, which typically includes a psychiatrist, a nurse, and at least two case managers. Increasingly, these teams are also incorporating certified peer specialists to assist with engagement and the recovery process. ACT is characterized by (1) low client-to-staff ratios (no more than 10 clients per staff member); (2) providing services in the community; (3) shared caseloads among team members; (4) 24-hour availability of the team, (5) direct provision of all services by the team rather than referral; and (6) time-unlimited services. RHD will deliver services enhancing the sense of competency and self-efficacy of participants and assist them in remaining in the least restrictive environment and community of choice.
