Forensic Assertive Community Treatment - Bronx County

The New York State (NYS) Office of Mental Health (OMH) announces the availability of funds for the development of one (1) 68-capacity Forensic Assertive Community Treatment (FACT) team in Bronx County. The Forensic ACT team will serve individuals who are justice-involved and have serious mental illness (SMI) who have not been successfully engaged by the traditional mental health treatment and rehabilitation system.

Forensic ACT builds on the evidence-based model of ACT by making adaptations based on criminal justice involvement—in particular, addressing risk and protective factors associated with arrest and recidivism.

Forensic ACT is intended for individuals with SMI who are involved with the criminal justice system. These individuals may have co-occurring substance use and physical health disorders, trauma histories, engagement difficulties, and behavioral challenges. Their needs are often complex, and their disorders are often under-managed and further complicated by varying degrees of involvement with the criminal justice system.
