The Family Van’s mission is to educate, counsel, and assist community members in strengthening and protecting their bodies, minds, and communities by increasing access to health care and improving the health of residents in Boston's most underserved communities. The Family Van empowers community members by improving health literacy and providing preventive screenings in a welcoming and non-judgmental environment. In 2021, The Family Van launched Healthy Roads, a program adapted from the PM+ model to reduce the stigma of mental health care while increasing access to high-quality, culturally and linguistically responsive care. Healthy Roads helps those struggling with social isolation, stress, and adversity learn new coping, problem-solving, and help-seeking skills while also providing referrals to specialized care for those who are experiencing acute and severe mental health distress. As part of Advancing Community-Driven Mental Health, The Family Van will provide technical assistance to the grant partners.
