What is Assertive Community Treatment (ACT)?
Often referred to as the “grand-daddy of evidence-based practices (EBP)”, ACT is the oldest and most widely researched EBP. It originated in Madison, Wisconsin at Mendota State Hospital. It was developed, originally, to support individuals who were recently discharged from a state institution. As mental health professionals began to provide supports for individuals as they re-integrated into the community, they found people were able to achieve stability and a certain level of independence, which resulted in fewer hospitalizations and greater quality of life for those individuals served.
