What do we need to measure to advance real change? How can data drive discovery and new solutions?

These were just some of the key questions being explored over the last two days at Words to Deeds 2024, a multi-disciplinary convening that Cause was proud to support and amplify.

Words to Deeds is a statewide collaborative and California’s premier forum for decriminalizing mental illness and preventing people with behavioral health needs from becoming involved with the criminal justice system.

Words to Deeds convenings incubate innovative approaches and ideas, promote best practices, and advance public policy to strengthen communities and advance justice and health equity across California.

In partnership with the Mental Health Services Oversight Commission and the Council on Criminal Justice and Behavioral Health, “W2D 2024 – Establishing Metrics to Measure Success: Diversion, Data, and Accountability” focused on establishing metrics and shaping a shared vision to unite key partners such as government, behavioral health, educational and advocacy organizations about how to measure success in decriminalizing mental illness, diversion, and reentry.

With gratitude for Kit Wall, Toby Ewing, Brenda Grealish, Stephanie Welch, Erik Ewers, and all the other leaders whose commitment and collaboration made this convening such a great success.

You interact with – and rely on – a wide variety of groups in order to meet your mission, from program participants and volunteers to funders and partners. The more you know about your audiences, the more effective you can be in engaging them.

As you plan ahead for 2024, it’s never too late (or too early!) to make sure your organization’s communications strategy aligns with who your audiences are, what’s important to them, and how to reach them.
