ACT is about meeting people where they're at and really being patient with them, helping them to feel that they deserve it, and especially the women.
Ever thought about how community-based care can change lives? In this episode of 'One Hour AT A Time', host Mary Woods sits down with Judy Magnon to explore Assertive Community Treatment (ACT). This approach offers a lifeline to those with severe mental illnesses and co-occurring substance use disorders. Rather than relying on traditional inpatient care, ACT brings a multidisciplinary team directly to the individual, providing continuous support 24/7, 365 days a year.
It’s all about meeting people where they are, both physically and emotionally. Judy shares how ACT empowers individuals to set their own goals and regain a sense of hope and belonging in their communities. They discuss the unique challenges faced by women in recovery and the crucial role of personal connections in breaking the cycle of chronic mental illness. If you're curious about innovative recovery methods or know someone who might benefit from community-based support, this episode is a must-listen.
Tune in for an engaging conversation that could offer new perspectives on recovery and mental health.
