WHY PACT #267 IS SPECIAL

  • Community-First, Mobile Care: PACT #267 serves individuals with the most severe and persistent mental illness, including those who have not thrived in traditional treatment settings. Telecare
  • Intensive, Team-Based, Recovery-Oriented Services: The program uses a multidisciplinary team — mental health professionals, registered nurses, peer supports, and psychiatric providers — to deliver evidence-based, strengths-based, recovery-focused services, including psychiatry/medication management, case management, housing coordination, employment support, peer support, and crisis intervention. King County+2Telecare+2
  • Community Integration — Not Institution-Based: The PACT team is mobile; about 75% (or more) of services occur outside of office settings — in clients’ homes, neighborhoods, job sites, or other community settings — enabling clients to live independently, maintain employment, build natural supports, and stay connected to community rather than institutions. Telecare+1
  • Long-Term, Structured Support: Unlike time-limited outpatient services, PACT provides ongoing support for as long as needed — offering flexibility, continuity of care, and commitment to client success. King County+1
  • Capacity & Growth: PACT #267 is designed to serve up to 100 clients. Telecare The program is already seeing growth: in recent months, leadership expanded a small pilot team into a full, functioning PACT team of 14 soon-to-be more — demonstrating commitment, growth potential, and rapid scaled-up service delivery.
