A framework for coordinated mental health readiness

PreAct is developing a practical framework that helps municipalities, hospitals, and community organizations align around preparedness before high-impact crises occur.

The framework brings together field learning, clinical expertise, and systems design so institutions can move from fragmented response toward shared readiness. It focuses on the first hours and days after major events while also strengthening planning before impact.

Current work includes pilot deployment, comparative evaluation, and knowledge-sharing across institutional and academic partners. The aim is to create a model that is usable in real settings, adaptable across regions, and grounded in trauma-informed practice.
