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.

  • Collaborative Care Integration
    methodology: collaborative_care_model
    By integrating behavioral health into pediatric primary care using the Collaborative Care Model, we produce earlier and more effective mental health and overdose risk interventions, because co-located, team-based care improves access and continuity for vulnerable youth.
  • Community-Based Frontline Intervention
    methodology: community_as_partner
    By deploying nontraditional public health staff in community settings, we produce broader and more timely overdose prevention reach, because trusted community members can engage high-risk individuals in ways traditional systems cannot.
  • Digital Engagement for Overdose Prevention
    methodology: digital_health_intervention
    By using digital platforms and gamification informed by behavioral economics, we produce higher patient engagement and adherence to overdose prevention care, because interactive, personalized technology tools reinforce positive behaviors and sustain motivation over time.
  • Integrated Overdose Prevention and Treatment
    methodology: integrated_overdose_prevention
    By combining systematic overdose risk screening, safety planning, and low-threshold medication treatment, we produce comprehensive care for individuals with opioid use disorder, because integrating clinical and behavioral interventions addresses both immediate and underlying drivers of overdose risk.
  • Structured Overdose Safety Planning
    methodology: structured_safety_planning
    By using a standardized, evidence-based safety planning tool to assess personal overdose risk and guide prevention strategies, we produce more effective risk mitigation than through generic conversations, because structured planning improves recall, personalization, and actionability of prevention steps.
