New Rochelle HS CODA Club
https://theharrisproject.org/our-work-coda-prevention/the harris project is committed to advancing prevention programming, and advocates for the implementation of integrated treatment opportunities to improve the lives of teens and young adults diagnosed with co-occurring disorders (COD). COD is the combination of one or more mental health challenges and substance misuse and/or addiction. With a goal of transforming the national perception and management of COD, our perspective embraces two diagnostic areas (mental health and substance misuse/addiction), while promoting a comprehensive plan of action to: Create and deliver prevention programming designed to: highlight paths to substance misuse/addiction; empower youth, parents and community members to understand COD; promote informed decision-making; and, encourage linking to appropriate resources. Enhance treatment and recovery options through advocacy and collaboration to transform the system of care to one that is integrated and co-occurring capable.
