Adult Assertive Community Team
Turning Point's Adult Assertive Community Team (AACT) will help those at risk for, or with a history of psychiatric hospitalization, residential care, or out of home placement. Program members may be homeless, or are at risk for losing their housing, being displaced from their families, and losing their jobs or income for basic needs like food, shelter and clothing. Treatment will include: assessments, appropriate medications, individual supportive therapy and crisis intervention.  Rehabilitation will feature teaching skills to help structure time and activities, along with supported employment or continuing education.  A recovery-oriented approach ensures member-driven decisions on services provided, and AACT clients will be hired as staff to encourage others whenever possible.
Mentally Ill Offender Crime Reduction program
The Mentally Ill Offender Crime Reduction (MIOCR) program is designed to help folks over the age of 18 with a diagnosed mental disorder and co-occurring substance abuse. Participants will be nonviolent offenders who may have been convicted for drug use, petty crimes, or loitering due to homelessness.  Services will be provided in jail until the member is released and discharge planning will include assessment, case management, referral and linkage to treatment resources. Program goals include preventing arrest and incarceration, and services will involve supervised residential treatment, peer support, therapy, housing assistance, job development skills/assistance, psychiatric services and medication support. The team will provide 24/7 response for crisis intervention as well as wraparound services for up to 50 members.
