How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Integrated, Whole-Person Care Networkmethodology: integrated_whole_person_careBy unifying mental health, substance use, medical, housing, employment, and social supports through coordinated, multi-agency service models — especially via Certified Community Behavioral Health Clinics — we improve access and outcomes for people with complex needs, because fragmented systems fail vulnerable populations and integration reduces gaps, delays, and loss of continuity.
- Low-Barrier, Continuous Access Modelmethodology: low_barrier_continuous_accessBy offering 24/7 crisis support, urgent care for mental health and substance use, and multiple access points (phone, in-person, online), we increase timely intervention and reduce preventable crises, because availability and ease of entry are critical for engagement among individuals facing acute distress or systemic exclusion.
- Person-Centered and Self-Directed Care Modelmethodology: person_centered_self_directionBy placing individuals at the center of decision-making and enabling them to design, manage, and direct their own support plans — including hiring staff and structuring services — we improve engagement, autonomy, and alignment with personal goals, because control over one’s care fosters dignity, reduces system-driven friction, and increases long-term stability.
- Social Enterprise Employment Pathwaymethodology: social_enterprise_employmentBy combining real-world job opportunities with on-the-job skill development through a social enterprise (Access: Business Solutions), we promote economic independence and inclusion for people with disabilities, because experiential, supported employment builds confidence, competence, and community integration more effectively than classroom-only training.
