•Provide mental health education rooted in social justice and increase help-seeking behavior as a form of resistance 

•Identify and address social determinants of health (SODH) disparities and other systems of oppression that create and exacerbate mental illness 

•Provide mental health care and case management services 

•Deliver coordinated crisis management to provide traditional, innovative, and culturally-responsive care

•Promote social connectedness, resilience, and joy
