Healing Minds NOLA

About this Organization

We are focused on eliminating barriers to treatment and care for people who are unable to advocate for themselves due to cognitive impairments secondary to severe mental illness, including schizophrenia spectrum disorders, bipolar disorders, psychotic disorders, and major depressive disorders. We aim to bring patients, residents, families, and stakeholders together to improve public policy and advocate for alternatives to incarceration, homelessness, repeat hospitalizations, and death for those living with untreated and under-treated serious mental illness. Current initiatives include providing alternatives to incarceration, streamlining inpatient and outpatient psychiatric treatment and care, and improving the continuity of psychiatric care. We promote Assisted Outpatient Treatment (AOT), a well researched and evidence-based therapeutic program with demonstrated outcomes of reductions in homelessness, criminal justice system involvement, and repeated hospital visits.
