JCCA's Youth Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) is a program designed to address the significant needs of youth ages 10 to 21, who are at risk of entering, or returning home from, high end services, such as inpatient settings or residential services, through the use of a multi-disciplinary team. Children with significant psychiatric needs, who are at risk of institutional level of care, require intensive interventions in order to adequately support the child and family's complex needs, to avoid high end services or facilitate and support a successful transition back to community.
JCCA's Youth ACT programs serve as a critical component in the children's continuum of care and ensures the child and their family have the level of support services and access to clinical professionals they require to sustain any gains made in crisis response or high-end services. Team interventions are focused on improving or ameliorating the significant functional impairments and severe symptomatology experienced by the child/youth due to mental illness or serious emotional disturbance (SED). Interventions are also focused on enhancing family functioning to foster health/well-being, stability and re-integration for the child/youth. Services are delivered using a family-driven, youth guided and developmentally appropriate approach that comprehensively addresses the needs of the child/youth within the family, school, medical, behavioral, psychosocial, and community domains. Youth/families enrolled in ACT are the responsibility of the collective team, and not just one or two individuals on the team.
