People in need of CalFresh, Medi-Cal, or other health benefits can struggle with navigating the complex bureaucracy.
N&R Publications works with government agencies to tell stories of real people navigating these processes. Our work with Sacramento County helped to spur a $28 million increase in CalFresh benefits usage. We helped the State of Nevada promote immunization by countering false online information. Our stories about Covered California used the stories of real people to emphasize the importance of getting health insurance and how to do it.

For many people, stigma can be a barrier to addressing mental health problems. Stigma can manifest in many different ways. There can be stigma against wanting to get help, or stigma against admitting that they suffer from a mental health problem. For certain populations, stigma can be more specific. We all can benefit from identifying stigmas we consciously or subconsciously have. Once we identify them, hopefully they will no longer act as a barrier to getting services, or interfere with the way we interact with people who may need support. By telling stories of people who articulate stigmas/barriers they experienced before getting services, others will become more aware of stigma.
