IMPACT –
Individualized and Mobile
Program of Assertive
Community Treatment
How does IMPACT help consumers?
Individualized and Mobile Program of Assertive Community Treatment (IMPACT) helps consumers take care of their basic
needs, including getting up, taking their medications, and sometimes just making
it through the day. IMPACT works with customers to help them decide which
medications best meet their needs. They also help consumers find housing, get
food stamps, go back to school, or get a job. IMPACT helps consumers struggling
with mental illness to get back on their feet.
How does IMPACT work?
A Team Approach
Psychiatrists,
substance-abuse specialists, mental-health professionals, nurses, and employment
specialists work together to give consumers the wide array of ongoing,
individualized care that they need.
Services Provided Where Needed
IMPACT
services are provided wherever the consumers need them: at home, at their
workplace, and in other community settings where they are experiencing
difficulties.
Continuous Care
Consumers receive
support from their IMPACT teams regularly for as long as they need it.
Personalized Care
IMPACT teams work with
relatively small numbers of consumers at a time, in an effort to provide them
with the personalized care that they need.
Convenient Care
The care consumers
will receive from IMPACT is flexible, because the IMPACT team members fit their
schedule around each customer’s schedule.
Always Ready to Help Out
IMPACT services
are provided 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, always with someone available to
handle emergencies.
