serious mental health symptoms which interfere with their ability to live in
the community, participate in treatment, and manage their health
independently. ACT provides
comprehensive services, including therapy, case management, individual and
group skills training, substance use disorder treatment, medication management,

Supported Employment Program
The supported employment program at Clatsop Behavioral
Healthcare assists individuals living with severe mental health symptoms to
enter the workforce and meet their vocational goals. Employment specialists provide tailored
training and resources which are used to match participants with job
opportunities that coincide with a person’s goals and abilities. The supported employment program does not
give a person a job, but instead provides them with the support they need to
accomplish their employment goals.
Peer Support
The power of personal experience lies in the expertise and
understanding which professional training simply can’t duplicate. Clatsop Behavioral Healthcare’s peer support
specialists utilize their own lived experience and specialized training to
provide support and guidance to persons on their own path to wellness. From defining goals and strategizing, to
teaching new skills and providing support, our peers employ the tools gained
through lived experience to help clients attain the same level of recovery from
symptoms they themselves have achieved.
