Program of Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) serves individuals with severe and persistent mental illness who also experience difficulties with daily living activities.
PACT services are delivered by a group of transdisciplinary mental health staff who work as a team and provide the majority of the treatment, rehabilitation, and support services consumers need to achieve their goals.
