Communities Changing Minds:
How Crises Spur Action
A discussion on Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT) which they define as "the practice of providing outpatient treatment under civil court order to individuals with SMI [serious mental illness] who have demonstrated difficulty engaging with treatment on a voluntary basis". The discussion includes a Pennsylvania-based scenario to walk listeners through the challenges that justice-involved mentally ill individuals can face when resources are limited and how AOT programs can help alleviate them.
