Welcoming Cate Graziani to the Grassroots Leadership team

We're happy to welcome Cate Graziani to the Grassroots Leadership team as our new Mental Health Campaigns Coordinator.  

While completing a Master of Science in Social Work and a Master of Public Affairs from UT - Austin, Cate contributed to Grassroots Leadership’s groundbreaking research on the private prison industry’s foray into mental healthcare, and the over-incarceration of individuals with mental health and substance use disorders was the focus of her master’s thesis. 

Before returning to Grassroots Leadership, Cate worked as a Policy Fellow at Mental Health America of Texas, where she coordinated legislative advocacy efforts at the intersections of mental health, drug and criminal justice policy.
