This study examines the prevalence and the characteristics of parenting among people served by Assertive Community Treatment (ACT). Four semi-rural ACT teams in southeastern Ontario were surveyed. The findings suggest that a significant minority (38%) of persons receiving ACT services are parents, although most (84%) do not live with their children and many rarely see their children. These findings are surprising considering the lack of discussion in the literature about parenting among recipients of ACT services. The results are discussed in terms of the meaning for ACT services.
本研究调查了接受积极社区治疗（ACT）服务的人群中为人父母的比例及其特征。对安大略省东南部的四个半乡村ACT团队进行了调查。研究结果表明，接受ACT服务的人群中有相当一部分少数群体（38%）是父母，尽管大多数（84%）并不与子女同住，而且许多人很少见到自己的孩子。鉴于文献中缺乏关于ACT服务接受者为人父母情况的讨论，这些发现令人惊讶。本文将根据这些结果对ACT服务的意义进行讨论。
