Service Description:
|
Chatham-Kent Health Alliance’s (CKHA) Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) program is a community-based, recovery model of care for individuals who have severe and persistent mental illness. ACT assertively reaches out to clients where and when they need help – directly in the home and in the community.
ACT brings an inter-professional team of healthcare workers together, including psychiatrists, social workers, nurses, occupational therapists, therapeutic recreation and vocational rehab therapists, to provide you with highly integrated and individualized services. ACT gives you a single point of access – one door to comprehensive treatment, rehabilitation, and support.
