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.

  • Client-Directed, Strengths-Based Recovery
    methodology: client_directed_recovery
    By centering clients' autonomy and inherent strengths in mental health and substance use treatment, we improve engagement and recovery outcomes because individuals are more likely to sustain change when they lead goal-setting and draw on their own capabilities.
  • Family-Empowerment to Prevent Out-of-Home Placements
    methodology: family_empowerment_model
    By supporting families to identify their own needs and build communication and responsibility through participatory models like STEP, we reduce the need for out-of-home placements because family-driven solutions increase ownership, stability, and long-term resilience.
  • Integrated, Trauma-Informed Care for Co-Occurring Disorders
    methodology: integrated_trauma_informed_care
    By treating substance use disorders alongside mental health and trauma within a single, coordinated framework, we improve recovery sustainability because underlying psychological and social drivers are addressed concurrently rather than in isolation.
  • Peer-Led Recovery Support
    methodology: peer_led_recovery
    By incorporating Peer Specialists with lived recovery experience into treatment teams, we enhance trust and engagement because individuals in recovery are more likely to model and transmit hope, relatability, and practical strategies for sustained wellness.
  • Universal, School-Based Prevention Through Skill Building
    methodology: universal_prevention_in_schools
    By delivering evidence-based prevention programs like Botvin’s LifeSkills Training in classroom settings, we reduce youth substance use because teaching social resistance, emotional regulation, and decision-making skills during formative years disrupts risk trajectories before use begins.
