Adolescents Navigating Change, Health, and Ongoing Recovery
ANCHOR aims to reduce adolescent deaths from synthetic opioids by:
- Increasing engagement of adolescents (particularly those who may be less motivated to seek help) and their families or caregivers, in the system of care.
- Increasing access to evidence-based and innovative resources and programs (including harm reduction, treatment, and recovery supports) tailored for adolescents and their families.
- Reducing barriers to retention for adolescents and their families in the system of care.
ANCHOR subrecipients are expected to offer:
- Comprehensive interventions, including screening and/or crisis response, adolescent treatment services, and outreach and engagement initiatives.
- Innovative approaches, such as online recovery groups, recovery high schools, recovery groups for adolescents, and evidence-based family support interventions.
- Telehealth services and training and technical assistance to providers to support online activities.
- Harm reduction education and programs for adolescents and their families, as well as other people who interact with adolescents.
