Therapist ACT

The Therapist is part of the person-centered integrated team and provides direct and indirect services to persons served by the Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) team.

Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a way of providing many types of service to people with chronic mental health disorders. ACT teams provide services directly to people in their community. People who get ACT services receive the wrap-around psychiatric services, but within the comfort of their own home and community. ACT team members are trained in the areas of psychiatry, social work, nursing, substance use disorders, and supported employment so they have the skills they need to meet the many needs of the people they serve. The ACT team provides these services 24 hours a day, seven days a week, each day of the year.

This is a full-time, benefit eligible position working 40 hours a week.
