Adult Community Clinical Services (ACCS) are a comprehensive, clinically focused service that helps people living with long-term mental health and substance use challenges recover. People with lived experience of mental health conditions work as part of the ACCS teams and are trained to provide mutual support to help others in recovery. Peer specialists promote engagement, hope, and full integration and functioning in the community, helping people to explore their options and gain confidence, skills, and resources needed to successfully achieve their goals.

Vinfen’s Program for Assertive Community Treatment (PACT) services provide treatment, rehabilitation, and support services to enable the people we serve to reduce or prevent psychiatric relapse, improve abilities in adult life roles, and engage in a personal process of recovery. Recovery coordinators working in PACT are people with lived experience of mental health conditions and specialize in providing mutual support to help others.

Our Recovery Learning Centers (RLCs) are run entirely for and by people with lived experience of mental health conditions and/or substance use challenges. Our services utilize peer support, advocacy, referral, education, career coaching, job readiness, financial literacy, wellness, and social activities in a sensitive and person-centered manner. We support four peer-led RLCs located in Cambridge, Somerville, Fall River, Hyannis, and Quincy. Click here to learn more about RLCs.
