Reframe Health and Justice

What Reframe Health and Justice does

Reframe Health and Justice is a private, worker-owned consulting collective founded in 2018 and headquartered in Washington, D.C., with a secondary base in Durham, North Carolina. The firm delivers four core service lines — Capacity Building Assistance, Organizational Strategy & Planning, Policy & Advocacy, and Community Care & Conflict Transformation — to nonprofits, public health agencies, and federally-focused advocacy coalitions working at the intersection of harm reduction, sex worker rights, drug policy, anti-violence, LGBTQ health, and racial justice. Its intellectual foundation is the Healing-Centered Harm Reduction (HCHR) framework, developed by the founding collective in 2018, which the firm uses to structure curricula, training programs, organizational assessments, and policy analyses for clients such as the Maryland Department of Health, NASTAD, the Public Defender Association, and Fenway Health. The collective is composed of five core consultants — Justice Rivera (Co-Founder), Queen Adesuyi, Kate D'Adamo, Sasanka Jinadasa, and Jessica Peñaranda — plus two associates, supported by a part-time-style worker structure.

The firm operates a sales-led, direct-engagement go-to-market with no channel intermediaries. Pricing is sliding-scale based on client organization size and budget, with multi-year contracts common; the firm explicitly states it "works with lots of people with lots of budgets." The business is a pure professional services model with no software product, API, or recurring SaaS revenue stream. The firm has not raised institutional funding, has no parent company, and discloses no revenue figures. Marketing is content-driven via blog, resource library, mailing list, and organic social (Facebook, LinkedIn), functioning primarily as a thought-leadership top-of-funnel rather than a scalable demand-generation motion.

Others

• National Harm Reduction Coalition: National harm reduction advocacy and capacity-building organization; shares mission and audience with RHJ but operates as a direct service/advocacy nonprofit rather than a consulting firm.

Broad incumbents

• Bridgespan Group: Large, established nonprofit and social-sector consulting firm with broader scope and resources; overlaps with RHJ in serving mission-driven organizations but at materially greater scale and breadth.
• FSG: Global social-impact consulting firm advising foundations, corporations, and nonprofits on strategy and evaluation—operates in the same social-sector advisory market as RHJ but at significantly greater scale.

Emerging players

• Forward Justice: Racial justice policy and advocacy organization working at the intersection of criminal legal reform, harm reduction, and equity—operates in a closely adjacent space with overlapping client and partner ecosystems.
• Change Elemental: Racial equity consulting and coaching practice supporting movement leaders and organizations—comparable niche focus on equity-centered capacity building for social justice organizations.
• The Praxis Project: Racial justice organization that provides capacity-building, training, and movement support to community-based organizations—overlaps with RHJ's racial-equity capacity-building work for grassroots groups.
