Projects Programs and Services

Picture
Drug Free Communities
Five-year Initiative (October 2018-September 2023) focused on preventing underage drinking and youth misuse of prescription drugs. 

Tobacco Prevention and Cessation
Two-year initiative (July 2019-June 2021) focused on reducing tobacco and nicotine rates through policy work, legislative change, and education. 

Peer Recovery Coaches
Promote recovery from addiction by removing barriers and obstacles and serving as a personal guide/mentor for people seeking or in recovery. 

Quick Response Team
Rapid response to individuals who have overdosed and to facilitate access to treatment for individuals struggling with addiction. The primary focus is to assess an individual's needs, symptoms and strengths to determine an appropriate, individualized plan for intervention. 

Connecting the Links
This video driven concert was brought to the community in partnership with A Better Life Brianna's Hope (ABLBH). The awareness event was a creative, moving way to educate on the local effects of substance abuse and help reduce the stigma that surrounds addiction. The entertainment was produced and performed by Eric and Jillian Maitlen of Two Eight Ministries. 

Balance Act
In observance of Mental Health Awareness Month (May) this one-day program was brought to the entire 8th and 9th grade classes in the Jay County School system. This program was in partnership with Purdue Extension, Meridian Health Services, Youth Service Bureau, Jay County Schools, and Youth for Christ.

Botvin LifeSkills
This prevention and resilience-building program has been implemented in the Jay County High School (30 freshman), Middle Schools (all 6th Grade), and Jay Community Center Summer Day Camp (30 school aged children).

Strengthening Families
An evidence based parenting program designed to help parents and kids develop happier family relationships, improve mental health outcomes, and help decrease youth alcohol and drug use, violence, and delinquent behavior. This has been implemented with seven families, and further implementation is being planned in partnership with Purdue Extension. ​

Grants
Awarded annually in the areas of Drug and Alcohol Prevention/Education, Justice/Law Enforcement, and Intervention/Treatment.

Thanks for sharing this piece, really informative and helpful. I really appreciate the fact about recovery and helping those who needs it. It doesn't necessarily have to be them alone doing this we have to go through this journey with them. With our help and support I think they really can make it and have a better life one day
