Adult Assertive Community Treatment

The New York State (NYS) Office of Mental Health (OMH) announces the availability of funds for the development of two (2) Adult Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams in the Hudson River (HR) Region - one (1) 48-capacity team in Saratoga County, and one (1) 68-capacity team in Rockland County.  The ACT teams will serve individuals who have Serious Mental Illness (SMI) and have not been successfully engaged by the traditional mental health treatment and rehabilitation system in NYS.

The expansion of ACT to underserved communities represents a commitment by the NYS OMH to develop ACT teams that are designed to better meet the needs of specific populations, e.g., increasing access to an evidence-based practice for adults with SMI and high continuous needs that are not met in traditional community-based services.  ACT is designed to be flexible and responsive to the needs of individuals, offering support 24 hours a day, seven (7) days a week.
