Our Approach
PACT is built on the belief that people with mental illness should live and work in normal community settings. Its goal is to provide the assistance, support and services these individuals need to succeed. Implicit in the mission of the Program for Assertive Community Treatment, is the conviction that serious mental illness does not erase the absolute right to human dignity and to self-determination. Through its efforts, PACT seeks to bring about positive change and help individuals and their families lead more fulfilling and productive lives.
