                        Program Description
 COMMUNITY ADVOCACY TEAM (CAT) is an innovative, flexible, intensive case management team that provides a wide range of on site therapeutic interventions and support. These services are provided to persons with chronic mental disabilities who may be non-compliant to service, severely lacking in adequate social and coping skills, and are at high risk for re-hospitalization.
The team serves these individuals at a staff/client ratio of 1:12, and is available seven days per week, including 24-hour crisis intervention. The program's goal is to assist individuals in finding supportive housing to maintain quality of life; establish linkage with agencies not otherwise available to them; educate families and significant others for enhanced understanding of mental illness; anticipate and prevent mental. and physical deterioration of the individual served and reduce the need for re hospitalization.
