Piloting an Assertive Community Treatment (ACT-C) Program for Younger Children Aged 6 to 12 Years in Ontario, Canada
We introduce an evaluation of the first Assertive Community Treatment (ACT-C) program in Ontario for children aged 6–12 years. We share our experiences with piloting the adapted ACT-C model in an effort to support complex mental health challenges while reducing the demand for expensive institutionally based care.
