The daily team meeting has two basic components: format and pace. The meeting format is simple. It is a gathering of service providers from multiple disciplines who are dedicated to team cohesiveness, team collaboration, and the recovery of people with severe mental illness.  All team members discuss what they know about each client’s life experiences and recovery in the last 24 hours and the next 24 hours.The team leader keeps the pace of the meeting by focusing on the roster (list) of names of people enrolled in ACT services. The team leader keeps the discussion focused on the 24-hour cycle. This close look at yesterday and today is very impor-tant. It helps keep the pace of the meeting.Team MembersACT teams are multidisciplinary and usually con-sist of the following:n Team Leadern Program Assistantn Prescriber (e.g., psychiatric care provider)n Nursen Case Manager (e.g., community support provider, qualified mental health provider)n Substance Abuse Specialistn Peer Support Specialistn Vocational Specialistn Counselor/TherapistTo learn more, get these resources from our website:n Daily Team Meeting Video & Learning Guide www.centerforebp.case.edu/resources/tools/act-video-part-1n ACT | Team Meeting Tools www.centerforebp.case.edu/resources/tools/act-team-meetingsDAILY TEAM MEETINGOur Center has provided technical assistance for ACT and/or integrated ACT-IDDT in these states and in the Netherlands:• Ohio • New Mexico• Colorado • North Carolina• Georgia  • North Dakota• Indiana • Pennsylvania• Kentucky • Washington• Maryland • Wisconsin• Michigan Many ACT teams use Integrated Dual Disorder Treatment (IDDT), the evidence-based practice for people with co-occurring severe mental illness and substance use disorders. IDDT acknowledges that abstinence from alcohol and other drugs is a long-term goal that occurs in stages of change and treat-ment over time. IDDT utilizes a person-centered, motivational, and stage-wise approach.IDDT is a natural fit for ACT. It is estimated that as many as 80 percent of people with severe mental ill-ness who receive ACT services may also have a co-occurring substance use disorder. Organizations that implement ACT often implement IDDT to address substance use disorders.
