Welcome!
Please join us for this one-of-a-kind gathering of national, state, and local assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) champions, implementers, and practitioners. Together, we will learn from one another, build on what we know, and celebrate the lives we are transforming through AOT!
Who Should Attend?
Judges, attorneys, mental health authorities, mental health providers, hospital administrators, crisis center administrators, law enforcement, mental health advocates, and anyone with a desire to help those with untreated mental illness who are caught in the revolving door of hospitalization and incarceration.
What is AOT?
Assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) is a tool in the toolbox for civil courts and mental health systems to work collaboratively to help individuals with serious mental illness caught in a cycle of repeat hospitalizations, homelessness, and incarcerations. Individuals who benefit from AOT have a history of inconsistent engagement with treatment, often due to diminished awareness of the need for treatment. AOT aims to motivate and assist individuals with serious mental illness to engage in treatment and ensure that the mental health system is attentive to their needs.
