    Description

    SUMMARY

    Recovery Support Specialists (RSS) assist clients in defining their goals for recovery and assist them in meeting those goals. The ACT Model involves an integrated, multi-disciplinary team approach to providing high intensity rehabilitative services, supports, and interventions to assist clients in achieving their personal recovery goals. Much of this work involves teaching clients the skills necessary to successfully manage their illness, and live as independently as possible. In addition, RSSs link clients to services and professionals that can assist in the clients' recovery. Forming trusting relationships that are therapeutic and supportive is the manner in which Recovery Support Specialists are able to be most helpful for clients. As they accompany clients to appointments, visit clients in their homes, and meet with clients where they socialize, worship, and work, recovery support specialists are able to facilitate recovery and integration.

    7. Locate safe, sanitary, and affordable housing for clients that is appropriate for the level of care that they need; provide support during transition from different types of housing.

    8. Accompany clients to critical services when necessary, especially critical medical appointments.
