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.
