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.
- Public Education and Dialogue to Advance Systemic Reformmethodology: evidence-based dialogueBy using public discussion series, panel conversations, and fact-based dialogue, we shift public understanding and drive reform in criminal justice and mental health systems, because sustained, inclusive discourse that centers science and lived experience fosters empathy, challenges bias, and builds support for structural change.
- Rehabilitation-Over-Punishment Frameworkmethodology: rehabilitation-over-punishmentBy shifting criminal justice approaches from punishment to prevention, rehabilitation, and community-based solutions, we produce safer communities because systems that prioritize human development and support address root causes of harm more effectively than punitive measures.
- Restorative Justice to Address Root Causes of Violencemethodology: restorative_justiceBy applying restorative justice practices to cases of violence, including domestic violence and sexual assault, we reduce reliance on punitive systems and foster community-based healing, because accountability and reconciliation within communities lead to more sustainable safety and reduced recidivism.
- Sequential Intercept Model for System-Level Reformmethodology: sequential intercept modelBy mapping service gaps using the Sequential Intercept Model, we guide systemic reforms for individuals in mental health or substance use crisis, because identifying interception points enables targeted, evidence-based interventions that prevent justice system entanglement.
- Trauma-Informed, Co-Located Services for Housing Stabilitymethodology: trauma-informed careBy integrating trauma-informed care with co-located housing and support services, we enable recovery and successful transitions from emergency shelter to permanent housing, because addressing trauma is essential to breaking cycles of instability and justice system involvement.
