Examine: Providing Mental Health Treatment for Low-Income and Underserved Populations

Our focus is on developing accessible mental health treatment options for those most in need. By examining what specific needs are to be met and how to best go about that through medication therapy, one on one counseling, rTMS, or a combination of multiple treatments, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers to access and ensuring equitable, high quality Psychiatric care for all.

Extend: Creating Access to Recovery and Harm Reduction Resources

We recognize that substance addiction and mental health disorders are often co-occuring, leaving individuals not knowing where to begin searching for help. Receiving dual focused treatment is essential for the wellbeing of so many, while often times being incredibly inaccessible. We are committed to breaking down those barriers and creating easily accessible resources for recovery, including free harm reduction resources and education.

Empower: Expanding the Psychiatric Workforce Through Physician Assistants Opportunities

The shortage of mental health professionals is a significant barrier to accessing care. To address this, we're committed to increasing the number of Physician Assistants (PAs) specialized in mental health and substance dependency treatment. Through scholarships and mentoring programs, we're not only supporting aspiring PAs but also ensuring a stronger, more accessible care system for the future.

Engage: Political Action for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Treatment Policy

Real change requires more than just direct services; it needs systemic transformation. Therefore, our vision includes robust community engagement events, harm reduction education and resources distribution, and a team dedicated to advocating for progressive mental health and substance abuse treatment laws. By providing meaningful education and reducing the stigma surrounding recovery within our community, our alliance will directly impact the rights and lives of those struggling with their mental health.
