Behavioral Health Innovators Graciously Accepts the Duffy Health Center 2018 Community Partner Award for Their Collaboration on RecoveryBUILD Alternative Peer Group for Teens
Thank you to Duffy Health Center for partnering with BHI to make RecoveryBUILD Alternative Peer Group (APG) a reality for teens struggling with substance use challenges. This “APG” provides counseling for teens and their families, with fun social activities, and Peer Recovery Mentors. At the APG personalized plans are co-created with the members to help them attain a quality of life that best serves their goals and aspirations without the use of substances and a provides a “warm hand off” to college or the workforce. Our counselor has conducted over 50 counseling sessions with members and their parents and many, many, community based organizations, as well as, the hospital ERs that are looking for the APG to fill the gap in support for teens. We are honored to accept this award on behalf of the teens whom we support, their friends who are so concerned about them, and their families looking for tools that work to address the impact of teen substance use. Special thanks to Ama
