Bridging Access to Care Inc. is excited to announce its new Brooklyn-based Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team. The BAC ACT Team is an interdisciplinary team that provides individualized Psychiatric, Medical, Vocational, Family, Substance Use, Peer, and Administrative counseling and support to clients ages 18 to 101.

Assertive Community Treatment Teams service those individuals diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness who have histories of multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, criminal justice involvement, generational poverty, and homelessness. ACT Teams provide an alternative to classic mental health engagement; Team members meet clients in their communities a minimum of twice weekly to practice trauma-informed strength based mental health care.

BAC ACT Team services can be accessed via professional or personal referral; referrals should be made via email to actteam@bac-ny.org.
