We started a new program funded through a prevention grant from the unitedway of northwest vt to address a need identified in our strategic plan forsubstance use support focused on youth and families. The parent projectreflects this strategy with intentional focus on serving recovery needs ofindividuals struggling with substances who are currently or soon to beparents, to create healthier family environments and improve the lives ofyouth.

TPCCV, as a community partner, will implement important programming that will function as a critical component of our prevention and early intervention system, including; Managing the Parents in Recovery Program (PRP) that will support parents who areinterested in addressing their substance use, which will in turn support their children. Developing and managing the Youth in Recovery Program (YRP) that will support youth who are identified as needing additional support through the YSBIRT program. Supporting the implementation of evidence-based curricula in schools.

We have a special program linking people receiving medication assistedtreatment (mat) for opioid use disorder with recovery supports and thelarger recovery community.
