Exodus Transitional Community, Inc.

Healing Families & Communities Project - Under the Proposed Healing Families & Communities Project (HFCP), We Will Expand Comprehensive Treatment, Early Intervention, and Recovery Support Services for Transitional Aged Youth (ages 18-25) With Substance Use Disorders (SUD) And/or Co-occurring Substance Use and Mental Disorders (cod), and Their Families/primary Caregivers. Our Primary Catchment Areas of Focus Include East Harlem and the South Bronx, in New York City; However, We Understand That the Needs of Justice-impacted New Yorkers Are Great, and Will Extend Outreach Beyond the Outlined Catchment Area Into Other Harlem, Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens Neighborhoods as Well. We Will Provide 450 Unduplicated Justice-impacted Transitional Aged Youth and Their Families (over 5 Years) With Evidence-based Clinical Treatment Services Paired With Recovery Supports. HFCP Participants Will Engage in 6-MONTHS of Clinical Treatment, Where They Will Participate in an Individual Case Management Session, as Well as at Least 2 Evidence-based/informed Group Sessions Per Week. Enrollment in Groups Such as Seeking Safety, Anger Management, Conflict Resolution, Healthy Coping Skills, Relapse Prevention, And/or Healthy Relationships Will Be Based on Individualized Needs and Can Change Throughout Course of Treatment (depending on Need). Participants Will Also Receive Toxicology Screenings on a Regular Basis. We Will Also Host Quarterly Family & Youth Community Working Group Meetings With Our Partners Identified in Attachment 5. the Goal of the Group Is to Ensure Early Intervention and Recovery Support Services Are Available to Meet the Complex Needs of Transitional Aged Youth and Their Families in Recovery. the Group Can Share Information and Work Collectively to Address Policy Issues and Advocate for the De-stigmatization of Addiction, Recovery and Incarceration.
