Center for Open Recovery creates and supports paths to long-term recovery by addressing the barriers posed by environmental, policy, social, and practical issues. We partner with local and national organizations, local government agencies, thought leaders, and supporters. Working together, we advocate, educate, and demonstrate that long-term recovery is attainable, that it is sustainable, and that it deserves to be celebrated.
Our current projects include:
The 14-week evidence-based program supports parents to strengthen bonds with their teenage children by learning and practicing effective parenting skills — including self-regulation, clear communication and boundary setting techniques.
Project Choice is an evidence-based, prevention education, in-classroom program which gives students in grades 4-8 information about alcohol, and other drugs, and explores the effects of substances on their minds and bodies, as well as offers skills to deal with peer and life pressures.
Project Connect is a mentor-style after-school program designed to help youth become agents of change in their own communities. Project Connect supports youth to 1) understand the potentially negative health consequences of alcohol abuse, 2) recognize the impact and implications of the excess availability of alcohol outlets in their communities, and 3) experience the power of change that is possible through education, engagement, partnership and social action.
