Resources
We publish research, tools, and lessons learned to help healthcare and legal organizations build and operate medical-legal partnerships and to help funders and policymakers advance medical-legal partnership activities. You can search those resources in the library below.
The library also links to journal articles, authored both by National Center for Medical-Legal Partnership staff and MLP practitioners and researchers from the field, that highlight ways medical-legal partnerships have improved patient health and well-being, the healthcare workforce, and healthcare delivery. A list of these articles with summaries are also available on the Peer-Reviewed Research page.
Advancing Patient Health, Wellness, and Satisfaction | Factsheet Series
This series of three (3) fact sheets from NCMLP explores how justiciable events shape individual and community wellness, and how health centers can respond with integrated, evidence-based approaches. Drawing on national research, the series examines how people navigate wellness-related problems — where they seek help, what drives their satisfaction with legal, medical, and mental health services, and how cross-disciplinary collaboration affects both patient and provider outcomes. Together, these resources equip health centers to strengthen community partnerships, improve screening and referral practices, reduce provider burnout, and implement sustainable, wellness-centered strategies that enhance quality, value, and outcomes.
