Dear friends and supporters of PCIC:

PCIC has partnered with Lone Star Justice Alliance (LSJA), a nonprofit legal organization whose mission is to improve the lives of emerging adults (18-24 years old) in the justice system through utilization of developmentally appropriate responses to behavior, treating emerging adults with equity and dignity to promote resilience, conserve costs, and increase public safety. PCIC will provide a platform to support their “Transformative Justice” and “End Juvenile Life Sentences” programs, which implement innovative strategies for maximizing the supports and services needed to keep emerging adults in the community where their needs are better met at a lower cost to the state. Through targeted outreach, public awareness campaigns, and other organizing activities, LSJA’s community programs engage emerging adults and their families to promote the development of positive outcomes among Texas emerging adults.

In May 2020, leadership from PCIC, Humana and the University of Houston Community Health Worker Initiative (UH CHWI) presented an innovative, collaborative model of care at the virtual Collective Impact Forum. In the presentation, Tray Cockerell (Humana), Kallol Mahata (PCIC), and Dona Stelzig (UH CHW) spoke about their project’s goals and their organizations’ shared vision for revitalizing healthcare systems and combating current barriers to quality treatment.
