Awards $2.1 Million to Four Organizations Pursuing Innovative Approaches to Prevention, Treatment, and Workforce Development
Summary
FORE today announced four new awards, totaling $2.1 million, to organizations that are addressing systemic barriers to effective treatment and recovery including workforce shortages and a dearth of programs tailored to the distinct needs of people at highest risk of overdose. By investing in innovative programs that expand peer support, integrate culturally responsive care, and build a more sustainable behavioral health workforce, we are helping to create lasting solutions that improve lives and strengthen communities. HELP USA, Inc., a national homeless services provider, is developing a counselor and peer support program that serves unhoused individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) living in HELP-operated transitional housing. The initiative will train staff as counselors and residents as peers in New York Citys Wards Island shelters to facilitate access to treatment, harm reduction, and recovery supports. Up to 30 youth from the Crow Creek Sioux Tribe in South Dakota will participate in weeklong camps that integrate equine therapy with traditional healing practices, such as drumming and storytelling.
