Shared Health leads the planning and coordinates the integration of patient-centered clinical and preventive health services across Manitoba. The organization also delivers some province-wide health services and supports centralized administrative and business functions for Manitoba health organizations.

**Position Overview**:

- HUB - Flexible ACT - ACT_

Shared Health is implementing wrap
- around multi-disciplinary community mental health teams for individuals who have severe mental illness. These teams will be composed of the HUB, FACTT and ACT teams. The teams will work with individuals who have a severe mental illness and may have been in hospital for extended periods of time, in a special contract, use a number of services and require regular supports to assist in community living. Individuals do not require a diagnosis of primary psychosis but may have a mental illness diagnosis, behavioral complexity, co-existing medical conditions, cognitive impairment, addictions, be involved with the criminal justice system and do not meet the criteria for other mental health programs or services.

The model is a dual intensity level approach and allows for a coordinated approach of care, less intensive FACTT (with ability to scale up to ACT for a temporary duration of time), and continuously intensive ACT.

The HUB will be responsible for:

- the assessment, intake and navigation of individuals that are referred for services.
- the development and oversight of the provincial standardization for FACTT and ACT teams in Manitoba.
- the development of the eligibility criteria and referral pathways to and from the services, identify gaps in services and develop solutions.
- data collection, oversight, and analytics.
- consultation and assessment for service strategy planning for client and families.
- the assessment and reassessment of clients for appropriateness for FACTT and ACT.

The Flexible ACT team (FACTT) will service a broader mental health client population.

FACTT will be responsible for:

- case management services in the community.
- has the ability to provide more intensive treatment services for a short period of time when needed by the individual.

The ACT team would allow for intensive service for individuals with severe mental illness and have a number of functional and adaptive needs. The ACT team will provide 24-hour wrap around services provided by a multi-disciplinary team.

**Main Function**:
