Kelowna MHSU - Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team

ACT teams are an established way of working with clients who have complex medical, psychiatric and social care needs who may have difficulty accessing community mental health and substance use services. ACT serves clients with serious mental illnesses and substance use disorders that are complex and who have very significant functional impairments, and who, because of the limitations of traditional mental health services, may have gone without appropriate services.

Services are delivered by a group of multidisciplinary mental health staff who work as a team and provide the majority of the treatment, rehabilitation and support services clients need to achieve their goals. The team is directed by a team coordinator and a psychiatrist and includes a sufficient number of staff from the core mental health disciplines, at least one peer support specialist, and a program/administrative support staff who work in shifts to cover 24 hours per day, seven days a week to provide intensive services.
