“The Sorted Project joined VHS in 2024 as we were seeking new networking opportunities with the potential for new partnerships and collaboration. VHS provide this, along with a collective voice of hundreds of members and access to health policy information and events. These benefits support The Sorted Project in its mission to tackle health inequalities and provide recovery support, training, and community engagement for individuals overcoming substance use and mental health challenges.”
