Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Peer Support Modelmethodology: peer_support_modelBy employing peer support workers, we improve chronic disease outcomes and address co-occurring conditions, because peers with shared experiences build trust and reduce barriers to care engagement.
- Transformative Mentoringmethodology: transformative_mentoringBy using transformative mentoring, we address systemic health and social risks among youth and young adults in high-need communities, because lived experience and relational support enable deeper engagement and lasting behavioral change.
