The professional staff consists of an interdisciplinary team including psychiatrists, clinical social workers, occupational therapists and psychiatric nurses. Participants in the program are each assigned a psychiatrist and care coordinator. Care coordinators are clinicians who provide each patient in the program with individualized treatment coordination. Patients meet weekly with a social worker and staff psychiatrist who will supervise their treatment.
