A Nexus Northwest case study 

The state of Alaska faces revenue shortfalls which will require across-the-board cuts in many programs.  Critical health and human services programs will have to compete with other worthy projects to maintain adequate levels of care.  The Alaska Mental Health Trust Authority wants to be as prepared as possible to present the case of a wide variety of beneficiaries.  We prepared a comprehensive advocacy program to help them do that.
