Metro Intensive Treatment Team (MITT)

The MITT Team provides intensive case management to adults with mental illness who need extra support when their symptoms are at an elevated level. Team members are available to meet with individuals as many as four times a week for typically 3 to 6 months.  The person receiving services and the team mutually agree upon individualized treatment goals and interventions, with short-term strategic interventions intended to stabilize symptoms and prevent or shorten hospital stays, avoid commitment to long-term hospitalization, and prevent the loss of employment, housing and personal relationships. Services include:

• Assessment of mental health, chemical health, and functional status

• Coordination of referrals and community resources

• Coordination with the person’s providers and support systems

• Skill building in the areas of medication and symptom management

• Relapse prevention

• Crisis intervention

• Family support and education

• Monitoring physical and mental health status
