RESPONSIBILITIES: We are seeking a Registered Nurse (RN) to join our Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) Team. The RN will provide psychiatric and medical health assessments, nursing care, and treatment to program participants, working as part of an interdisciplinary team. This role involves delivering services both in the community and in participant homes throughout Rockland County, providing education, advocacy, and support to participants and their families. The RN will collaborate with team members to implement and revise treatment plans and ensure high-quality care in accordance with ACT guidelines. Assertive Community Treatment (ACT), is an evidenced-based practice that uses a person-centered and recovery-based approach to offer treatment, rehabilitation, and support services to individuals that have been diagnosed with serious mental illness (SMI). Typically, individuals served by ACT have a treatment history that includes multiple psychiatric hospitalizations, risk of harm to self or others, and lack of success in traditional outpatient services. Many of these individuals are also living with co-occurring substance use disorders, and ACT utilizes a harm reduction approach to support them in reaching their self-identified recovery goals. ACT services are provided by a mobile, multi-disciplinary team who meet at the program participant’s residence and in mutually agreed upon settings in the community where the participant feels comfortable. ACT supports recovery through a highly individualized approach that provides participants with the tools to obtain and maintain housing, employment, relationships, wellness, and relief from symptoms and medication side effects. The nature and intensity of ACT services are developed through the person-centered service planning process and adjusted through the process of daily team meetings and frequent contacts with participants and their collaterals. The goal of ACT services is to assist individuals to achieve their personally meaningful goals and life roles. ACT integrates the principles of trauma-informed care and cultural competence, addressing the impact of discrimination/stigma, and inter-system collaboration into its service philosophy.
