ACT Advanced Practice Project Team
The BC ACT Advanced Practice (ACT AP) hosts a provincial network of ACT service providers and leaders by providing capacity-building opportunities, supporting discipline specific Communities of Practice (CoP), and engaging disciplines in the development and refinement of tools that will support the provision of ACT in our province. The AP focuses on innovation in supporting the ACT client population, and developing methodology and pedagogy to augment the fidelity of ACT teams across BC.
The ACT AP provides core training, discipline specific training, implementation support and consultation to Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) providers across BC. Our education and training curriculum uses evidence-based practice standards and modifications to these standards as developed by subject matter experts to better address the nuanced needs of ACT clients. Training is delivered online (self-paced) and other distance-learning modalities.
