Participants in ACT 101 will be able to describe Michigan’s Assertive Community Treatment’s (ACT) history, development and dissemination, team structure, roles, and community deployment. Participants will review ACT Medicaid requirements and the Field Guide to ACT to enhance understanding of ACT practice and fidelity and will be able to describe ACT’s treatment focus on person-centered, recovery-based holistic treatment of people experiencing the most difficult and intractable symptoms of serious mental health illness. Using a therapeutic set of intensive clinical, medical, and psychosocial services provided by a mobile multidisciplinary treatment team, participants will learn about basic ACT supports and services to assist in community tenure. Participants can discuss, describe, and ask questions of presenters and MDHHS staff as they relate to providing services within the managed care Medicaid environment.
