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.
- Documentary Advocacy to Shift Public Perception and Policymethodology: documentary_advocacyBy producing documentary storytelling, the organization raises public awareness about community-based treatment models for justice-involved individuals with serious mental illness, leading to greater support for alternatives to incarceration because narrative engagement fosters empathy and influences policymakers.
- Strategic Litigation for Community-Based Mental Health Accessmethodology: strategic_litigationBy using strategic litigation, the organization enforces legal entitlements to community-based mental health services, thereby increasing access for vulnerable populations because court-ordered mandates create binding obligations on states to provide care.
