ABOUT OUR ADULT SERVICES DIVISION

For adults with serious mental illness, recovery and success in life depends on good mental and physical health, as well as having satisfying relationships, safe housing, purpose in life, a sense of belonging, and hope for the future. We help people define their personal goals for recovery and manage their symptoms so they can achieve those goals. With our integrated health services, care and support, they discover strengths they didn’t know they had and are able to build futures filled with hope, meaning, and wellness.

Our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams use a multidisciplinary approach to provide comprehensive, community-based treatment to our members with persistent and severe mental illnesses and/or substance use disorders. Team members provide a full array of integrated, intensive supports and services around the clock. This evidence-based practice helps improve outcomes for people who are most at-risk of homelessness, psychiatric hospitalization, and institutional recidivism.
