About the Program: Telecare WIT (Whatever It Takes) is a Full Service Partnership (FSP) in Orange County, CA for persons diagnosed with serious mental illness who are referred by the Collaborative Court. This program offers members an opportunity to receive services in the community rather than in jail, and it provides the support to meet requirements set by the court. Treatment plans are developed with input from representatives of the Probation Department, the District Attorney’s office, the Public Defender’s office, and the court.
We have a multidisciplinary staff that includes psychiatrists, nursing, master-level clinicians as well as case managers all of whom have experience providing support, services and treatment to individuals living with mental health issues and co-occurring disorders. We are able to assist with obtaining benefits, educational, employment and housing goals. WIT offers a low staff-to-client ratio and provides the majority of services in a day program setting as well as in the community.
WIT serves as a fixed point of responsibility for all members. Caseloads are shared among the team members. “Whatever It Takes” refers to our approach in supporting our members in the community to avoid re-incarceration, hospitalization and homelessness.
