Programs

Build, Amplify, Support, Empower (BASE)

BASE subrecipients establish and expand indicated and selective substance use prevention and reduction programming for youth and emerging adults throughout the state. BASE programs specifically provide services to individuals who identify as non-Hispanic Black, do not consistently attend school, or are more likely to use or misuse substances due to factors such as adverse childhood experiences, mental health symptoms or conditions, familial history of opioid use disorder, and neurodiversity.  The goal of BASE prevention programs is to reduce or prevent one or more of the following:

  • Substance use and misuse
  • Stigma associated with SUD, treatment, and recovery
  • Social and physical access to substances
  • Harms associated with substance use and misuse, including overdose

BASE subrecipients are expected to:

  • Build awareness of substance use and associated risks and/or risk and protective factors
  • Amplify access to evidence-informed community supports, recovery, and treatment
  • Support capacity of regional and community groups
  • Empower youth and their families, community members and school employees, or other individuals who engage with youth or communities.
