Familiar Faces Initiative Advisory Board

The Familiar Faces Initiative: Improving Outcomes through Coordinated Health and Justice Systems launched on May 12, underscoring community leaders’ commitment to improving life outcomes for high-needs residents with complex behavioral health conditions.

At the event, the National Association of Counties (NACo) announced new opportunities for counties and cities to engage in this work, including through an Advisory Board of influential organizations to guide the Familiar Faces Initiative. The Familiar Faces Initiative Advisory Board will coordinate the landscape and information messaging around familiar faces to ensure an aligned approach across organizations and increase impact through wider, shared networks.
