Why it’s a priority
We seek to prevent people with substance misuse and mental health conditions from unnecessarily interacting with the criminal legal system. And for those who have, to support their recovery with access to a wide range of community support to prevent re-entry.
What we’ve accomplished together so far

“The fact that you…give us width for experimenting and innovation and understand it won’t always work out perfectly is great. Keep giving us that width, and we’ll produce exceptional results.”
