We Help Transition Individuals to Lower Levels of Care
Telecare Community Alternatives Team (T-CAT) was developed by Telecare Corporation to meet the specific needs of those experiencing crisis or transitioning between levels of care in Washington State.

The program has two components: Transitional Support & Hospital Diversion.

We Help Individuals Transition Out of Jail and Back Into
Their Community
When people with mental illness transition out of jail and back into the community, the hurdles can be significant. We help people re-imagine their lives, make progress in recovery, and stop the cycle of recidivism. Using Telecare's Recovery-Centered Clinical System (RCCS) to address Justice-Involved Mental Health (JIMH) issues has been key to creating a recovery-centered environment.
