We are aware that mental health problems are often accompanied by other needs involving both the individual and family members. This program is designed to facilitate access to the full spectrum of hundreds of community-based health and supportive services and to assist with housing in our short-term and permanent facilities.
Staff members, called case managers, serve as advocates. They help identify needs and link the person and family members to resources within the community.
Case managers also monitor progress and linkage to obtaining these services and assist with necessary changes in these resources as an individual’s needs evolve over time.
Some people face major barriers to finding and obtaining services. Case managers can help open doors to meet many needs.
Additionally, ACT manages two transitional or short-term housing centers in Tulsa. Support services are provided to help residents with the basics of daily living challenges such as isolation, loneliness, budgeting and finances, shopping. Additionally, we help support residents' efforts in the areas of employment, training, volunteering and recreational activities. Supervised living in our apartments provides a bridge to community living for people with a history of serious mental difficulties who are stabilized enough to live independently, supported by the guidance of staff members and aftercare programs.
