The Hope For Us Network is a lived experience coalition disrupting the highest risk factors for mental health crises. Mental Health: A Public Health Crisis The Proactive Proactive Plan creates individual mindsets, community protocols, and institutional policies that drive early recognition and provide effective interventions to reduce harm from mental illness and psychological injury (trauma). The Hope For Us Network came together because we collectively regard underserved mental health care as a public health crisis. Rates of illness, injury, and harm are not only persisting but surging and accelerating. Moreover, we realized that existing tools are reactive, only offering incremental impact. We need dramatic transformational change to reduce harm and halt acceleration. The Proactive Prevention Plan is a first-of-its-kind solution to reduce rates of harm by disrupting the highest risk factors for mental health crises. Out method is to leverage innovative Engagement and Education programs to Activate a revolutionary coalition of allies who will facilitate the transformation of community spaces and institutions to embrace, adopt, and embed proactive practices. Together, we can transform mental health.
