Advocacy

Although our day to day clinical services are focused on musicians and music industry folks, SIMS participates in the larger community conversations around reducing stigma and increasing access for mental health care for the entire Austin community.

Integral Care Planning Network and Advisory Committee, Chair 2017-2018
Integral Care Substance Use Disorder Advisory Committee
Recovery Oriented Community Collaborative
Austin Opioid Work Group

One Voice Central Texas
