National ACT Virtual Meeting and Discussion Forum to Address Impact of COVID-19

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a multidisciplinary, team-based model that provides intensive community-based and outreach-oriented services to people who experience the most severe and persistent mental illness. The vast majority also have a co-occurring substance use disorder and many experience comorbid medical illnesses as well as homelessness. This is a vulnerable population and their providers – ACT teams – are at elevated risk themselves during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Goals of the meetings are to:

• connect with one other
• share strategies and resources for adapting team practices and communications
• facilitate connection to the most up-to-date resources during the COVID-19 pandemic.
