Assertive outreach: has the tide turned against the approach? There has been an unprecedented growth in the number of assertive outreach (AO) teams over the past seven years, as politicians and policy makers alike embraced the approach ( Department of Health (DH) 2000 , 2004 ). Also known as assertive community treatment teams (ACT), AO teams were initially developed in the United States and their mandate in England coincided with the development of other specialist community services, such as crisis resolution and home treatment teams. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Mental Health Practice Royal College of Nursing (RCN)

Abstract

There has been an unprecedented growth in the number of assertive outreach (AO) teams over the past seven years, as politicians and policy makers alike embraced the approach ( Department of Health (DH) 2000 , 2004 ). Also known as assertive community treatment teams (ACT), AO teams were initially developed in the United States and their mandate in England coincided with the development of other specialist community services, such as crisis resolution and home treatment teams.
