SCCAT

Our Mission

SCCAT will manage crises in place whenever possible, look to avert unnecessary hospitalizations or advocate for optimal level of mental health and behavioral support in the least restrictive setting. We will work alongside families, community-based mental health and DD providers to strengthen supports for adults with developmental disabilities and co-occurring mental health or severe behavioral problems.

Consultation Services
SCCAT clinicians provide face-to-face and telephonic consultations to families, consumers, DD and mental health providers in a variety of settings, including homes, residential programs, day programs, partial care programs, community mental health programs, inpatient psychiatric units, state and county hospitals.

Clinicians conduct initial assessments to determine what is going on, identify factors contributing to current situations and determine what can be done to address problematic situations.
Clinicians train providers on the use of tracking and conduct functional assessments of challenging behaviors.
Clinicians work alongside families and staff to build up consumers' strengths and address their needs through skills building, communication strategies, environmental planning, brief counseling and education.
