Mental Health
- GOBHI ACT Referral.
- Assertive Community Treatement (ACT) is a specialized model of treatment and service delivery designed to provide comprehensive community-based mental health services to persons with serious and persistent mental illness (SPMI) who are at least 18 years of age, have severe functional impairments, and have not responded to traditional psychiatric outpatient treatment or less intensive non-standard levels of outpatient mental health treatment.
- Services are available to individuals with SPMI who have a history of multiple psychiatric hospitalizations and/or crisis interventions. ACT services are provided over an extended period of time and include clinical, rehabilitation, recovery, supportive, and case management services provided directly by a multidisciplinary team in the individual’s natural environment. ACT serves as the primary provider of services and is, in some cases, available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Learn more about the ACT admission Criteria.
- If you want to refer a person with serious mental illness to the services described above, you must complete the ACT Online Referral form.
