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.

  • Harm Reduction Model
    methodology: harm_reduction
    By meeting individuals at their current stage of readiness with low-threshold services, we increase engagement and reduce risk because this approach builds trust and sustains contact even when clients are not ready for abstinence or formal treatment.
  • Health Home Care Management
    methodology: health_home_care_management
    By coordinating integrated care across medical, mental health, and social services, we improve health outcomes for clients with chronic conditions because holistic, system-wide support reduces fragmentation and increases treatment adherence.
  • Needs-Based Case Management
    methodology: integrated_case_management
    By identifying and prioritizing critical client needs—such as housing, medical care, and behavioral health—and developing individualized work plans collaboratively, we produce better client outcomes because shared decision-making increases ownership, follow-through, and relevance of services.
