How they approach the work
Named approaches extracted from this org’s sources. Where others share an approach, follow it to see the full set of orgs running it.
- Harm Reduction Through Expanded Access and Stigma Reductionmethodology: harm-reductionBy providing naloxone, syringe services, drug checking, medication disposal, and anti-stigma initiatives, the organization reduces the negative consequences of substance use because meeting people where they are increases safety and engagement in care.
- Integrated, Client-Centered Care Networkmethodology: integrated_provider_networkBy integrating prevention, treatment, and recovery providers into a unified network and using client-centered referral, the organization improves access to care because coordinated, personalized pathways reduce barriers and stigma.
- Social Norms Change via Education and Cultural Modelingmethodology: social-norms-change-and-access-reductionBy using science-based prevention education, parent engagement, and substance-free fundraising, the organization reduces substance use because shifting community norms and reducing access weaken cultural acceptance of use, especially among youth.
- Stage-Appropriate, Evidence-Based Behavioral Interventionmethodology: evidence-based-interventionBy applying evidence-based practices like motivational interviewing and cognitive-behavioral therapy tailored to an individual’s stage of change, the organization improves behavioral outcomes because interventions aligned with readiness to change are more effective at reducing substance use.
- Youth-Led, Adult-Supported Empowermentmethodology: youth_led_adult_supportedBy training and supporting youth to lead advocacy efforts against tobacco and substance use, the organization drives community change because peer-led movements are more effective at shifting social norms and engaging young people.
