A4CIP is America’s organization of community integrated mental health programs.

Our member programs treat clients often diagnosed with severe and persistent mental illness while they live with various degrees of independence in the community. Clients receive robust, coordinated psychiatric and psychosocial services while participating in the real world, building social ties and moving purposefully toward a future – proven ingredients of psychiatric recovery.

The Association for Community Integration Programs educates individuals, families and mental health professionals about the benefits of this evidence-based treatment model, as an effective alternative or supplement to treatment outside the community.
