Council of Southeast Pa Inc

A message from the Executive Director - I want to state clearly and unequivocally that Black lives matter, and that this statement underlines critically important work that The Council will undertake in the coming weeks and months and thereafter. The Supporting Youth Recovery CRS program prepares peer paraprofessionals to obtain the Certified Recovery Specialist (CRS) credential and to provide peer-based addiction recovery support services to children, adolescents, transition-age youth, young adults and their families. This program is designed for youth and young adults (12—25 y.o.) whom have been identified with substance use and in some cases, mental health concerns. The core concept of this program is to create a safe space where these challenges are addressed, with an emphasis on family engagement. The Family Education Program can be attended in various locations throughout the Southeast region. Go to the link below to learn more about how the no cost Family Education Program can help.
