This forum supports Assertive Community Treatment Teams (ACTT) and others interested in client transition and recovery process to share our practice and support the development of new ones. It centres around the use of The Assertive Community Treatment Transition Readiness Scale© (ATR) developed by Gary Cuddeback, University of North Carolina, a brief and user friendly assessment (available also in French) that can support team and client decision making on transition from ACTT.
Many teams in The Eastern Ontario ACT Network are piloting the ATR and identifying the clinical and structural barriers we encounter in the daily practice and unique system and community settings teams are working in. Other Ontario teams in other LHIN’s are also beginning to utilize the ATR assessment.
The Eastern Ontario ACTT Network participating teams and others in Ontario are working with the ATR pilot evaluation working group to support teams to further strengthen their everyday steps to promote recovery, community integration and client transition within the unique care system and community resources of each team.
Here is a background document about the start of the Ontario ATR pilot https://kmb.camh.ca/eenet/site...ition-Readiness1.pdf
Some examples of a post in the CoP are:
