Action Lab

Turn Survival Into Systems Pressure

The Action Lab is where stories stop being “sad cases” and start becoming leverage. Data, tools, language, and ideas you can carry into rooms that pretend we don’t exist — or hope we stay quiet.

Pillar I
Inclusive Sobriety & Recovery Spaces
Notes, models, and questions that demand care for people who don’t fit the “perfect recovery client” mold.
Explore prompts & talking points
Pillar II
No-Judgment Care
Language that stops punishing people for surviving, and starts naming the harm done by systems, not “noncompliant clients.”
See scripts & reframes
Pillar III
Work-For-Program Models
Early thinking on programs that meet people where they are, instead of forcing them to choose between survival and support.
Read concept notes
Systems Data
The Numbers They Ignore
Space for lived-experience stats and reality checks — the kind of numbers that don’t make it into glossy reports.
