Program Collateral & Information
Essentials at a Glance
Program Type: Community-Based
To Make Referrals: Adult Forensic ACT linkage to services can begin prior to release from jail. The VCBH jail liaison identifies potential members that meet the VISTA program criteria and notifies our treatment team. The jail liaison is able to facilitate VISTA's ability to meet with a potential member while they are still incarcerated to provide program information and determine if the member is amenable to services.
Who We Serve: Adults residents of Ventura County who are ages 18 and older who have been diagnosed with a serious mental illness.
Hours of Operation:
Monday - Friday: 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
After hours: On-call crisis availability
About the Program: Telecare VISTA provides program services to adults with serious mental illness in Ventura County, California.
The VISTA Adult Forensic ACT (Assertive Community Treatment) program provides services to people that have been identified as severely and persistently mentally ill, homeless or at risk for homelessness, and incarcerated within the past year. Upon release from jail, a Telecare VISTA team member will be there to pick up the potential member, address immediate needs, and schedule an appointment for psychiatric assessment.
Additionally, some of the adult members participate in what is known as Mental Health Court. The VISTA team works with an individual to assist in successfully meeting their court and probation requirements. When an individual has met their legal obligation(s) they "graduate" from mental health court.
