The new study by UVic psychologists Catherine Costigan and Erica Woodin on Assertive Community Treatment (ACT) teams, first requested last summer by Island Health and VicPD, is now
complete and shows that vulnerable populations benefit from police integration into the ACT health care model.
As cases of substance use and mental illness continue to rise across Canada, the City of Victoria is having success with integrating police officers into health care on Assertive
Community Treatment (ACT) teams, according to a new report by UVic psychologists Catherine Costigan and Erica Woodin.
