Beyond Do No Harm Health Care Strategy Consult
Interrupting Criminalization’s Beyond Do No Harm project offers a Health Care Strategy Consult for health care workers looking for a thought partner on practical strategies for organizing in health care environments.
This is a place to connect and imagine practical strategies to resist criminalization in health care. We want to connect to learn about what people are doing, understand their successes and help them problem solve and work through challenges. We'd love to hear from you if you want to connect with other abolitionist providers so we can have some time living in a shared reality
The Health Care Strategy Consult is available by one hour virtual appointments for workers looking to resist criminalization while providing health care.

Is the Health Care Strategy Consult right for you?
How much does the consult charge?
The Health Care Strategy Consult is free.
What doesn’t the Health Care Strategy Consult help with?
The consult is specifically for workers providing health care.
For those organizing outside of health care environments, consider utilizing IC’s Transformative Justice Help Desk. If you are organizing in and outside of health care, both of these desks are potentially able to collaborate together with you.
Who is the Consult?
Laura Mintz (they/them) is a med-peds primary care doc and health services researcher focused on multiply marginalized queer communities. Their research is focused on the impact of criminalization on health.
A bit more about Mintz: Their life was saved by harm reduction as a teenager and they've been militant about it ever since. Before they were a doctor they did syringe exchange, outreach with people in the sex trade and street economies, and work with people that have been criminalized inside and outside of systems. They co-founded Young Women’s Empowerment Project (YWEP) and supported the organizing and development for the whole time it existed, and worked in solidarity with a whole bunch of other projects, organizations, and people looking to make the world we all deserve to live in.
