This 90-minute meeting for ACT Teams is hosted and facilitated by the Northwest MHTTC and the Institute for Best Practices at the University of North Carolina. This meeting will feature a panel of team members who work with Forensic ACT (FACT) teams in the states of Minnesota, Oregon, and Virginia. This facilitated discussion will focus on the role of FACT teams and practical strategies for working with justice system-involved individuals served on your team. We will welcome other examples and discussion across participants on other ACT teams as well. Rescheduled from original data of January 3, 2022.
The Northwest MHTTC, in collaboration with the Institute for Best Practices at the University of North Carolina, co-facilitates a bi-monthly consultation call with ACT teams and ACT stakeholders. Each meeting consists of a mini-didactic training on a topic of relevance and interest to ACT teams (at times circling back to topics related to navigating the COVID-19 pandemic and related issues as they come up), as well as opportunities to pose consultation questions and learn from other ACT teams and their shared experiences within ACT.
