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 Trauma- and Recovery-Informed Care for Co-Occurring Conditionsmethodology: trauma-informed_careBy addressing mental health and substance use conditions through dual recovery-informed and trauma-informed models, we improve safety, emotional regulation, and treatment engagement because unresolved trauma and addiction are interlinked barriers to recovery.
- Person-Centered, Peer-Supported Mental Health Recoverymethodology: person-centered_recoveryBy using a strength-based, growth-oriented, and peer-supported approach, we foster individual hope and capacity for change because lived experience and personal agency are central to sustained mental health recovery.
