Youth Wellness & Recovery Navigation Program (MAT)

The Youth Wellness & Recovery Navigation Program provides affirming, trauma‑informed, and harm‑reduction‑based support for youth navigating substance use, mental health, and life challenges. This program meets young people where they are rather than expecting them to navigate complex systems alone. It offers inclusive, culturally responsive care for youth of all identities, including 2S/LGBTQIA+ young people.

Community outreach and education begin through healing circles, workshops, wellness events, and stigma‑reduction campaigns that build trust and awareness of harm reduction, recovery, mental health, and Medication‑Assisted Treatment (MAT). Peer ambassadors and wellness leaders with lived experience provide relatable support through outreach, groups, and one‑on‑one navigation. Navigators and case managers connect youth directly to affirming MAT and substance‑use providers, removing barriers through warm handoffs, transportation, and follow‑up care. Ongoing case management links youth to housing, education, social services, and workforce‑development opportunities—creating a seamless pathway from engagement to recovery and long‑term stability.
