We provide youth and emerging adults who have challenges related to substance use, mental health and/or justice involvement with a sense of belonging, the skills and capacities for self-advocacy, healthy relationships, and positive engagement in the community.
Serving Alamance, Chatham, Orange and Durham Counties
Our staff and peer support mentors engage in promoting trust and self-acceptance with youth participants by advocating for youth, coordinating with existing service providers, and linking youth with community resources, thereby increasing the chances of a participant’s successful reintegration. We receive referrals from schools, treatment programs, community partners, family members, as well as the justice system. Learn more about our work.
