SUMMARY:ACT and COVID-19: Meet Up for ACT Mental Health Authorities\, Funders\, Trainers\, and Fidelity Reviewers
DESCRIPTION: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. \nWe are hosting a meet-up for non-provider ACT stakeholders who assume a role of overseeing ACT from a mental health authority perspective\, funding ACT\, providing ACT training and technical supports\, which includes leading ACT fidelity reviews. The intent is to create a unique space to share challenges and solutions related ACT operations and services during the COVID-19 pandemic. This meet-up is hosted by Lorna Moser\, PhD\, of the Institute for Best Practices\, UNC Center for Excellence in Community Mental Health and Maria Monroe-DeVita\, PhD of the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and the Northwest Mental Health Technology Transfer Center (MHTTC)\, the sponsor for these ACT meet-up events.
