YEAR 2 PROJECT NARRATIVE
2.1.1 Prevent substance/opioid use onset, misuse, and use disorder in youth
ACTIVITIES/DELIVERABLES
Last year’s funding cycle from the Maricopa County Department of Public Health
allowed Community Bridges, Inc. (CBI) to expand its student-based OUD/SUD services in the Mesa,
Chandler, and Gilbert communities. These services include:
•
School-Based Services (SBS); direct service support for high-acuity teens:
The CBI clinical licensed adolescent counselor and adolescent navigator and the CBI
community education team, work alongside the schools in Mesa, Gilbert, Chandler, AZ to
provide prevention, treatment, and support resources to the youth, family members, and
those who work with youth. The Adolescent Counselor provides in-depth counseling and
therapy to youth and their support systems to employ evidence-based therapies to
address substance use and/or mental health issues including Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. The CBI Adolescent Navigator is a certified peer
support specialist, an evidence-based practice certification program. The navigator works
closely with the youth to help them learn new coping and life skills to address behavioral
health issues. The navigator is a support for the family as well for any additional
resources that may be needed.
•
Education; education for school personnel and youth:
CBI including the Community Education and Outreach Department is accredited by the
Commission on Accreditation of Rehab Facilities (CARF). CARF provides the structure to
ensure that all training and presentations regarding OUD/SUD and mental health are
evidence-based or evidence-informed. Content is reviewed annually by the department
head of the CBI Community Education and Outreach department to ensure it is relevant
and culturally competent.
•
Narcan/Harm Reduction Prevention Training:
The Narcan and Harm Reduction presentation will provide participants with an
understanding of the harmful effects of opioids when abused. Narcan is an opioid
overdose reversal over-the-counter medication intervention that saves lives and falls
under the evidence-based strategies of harm reduction. The training explains the core
principles of
harm reduction and the latest data and trends of the opioid epidemic. Most importantly, it
addresses the different types of Narcan, how to administer different types of Narcan, and
the Arizona law around the use of Narcan.

For Year 2, CBI is requesting another expansion of services to include the Next Step
diversion program within the Chandler Unified School District that will target students
with substance-related suspensions. CBI and the Chandler Unified School District have a memorandum of
understanding already in place, making this the perfect location to offer the Next Step diversion program.
Diversion classes will replace school consequences such as out of school 10-day suspension and
possible minor legal offenses through juvenile probation, in hopes to stir the youth in a positive direction.
The program is in collaboration with schools, juvenile probation, and school resource officers, along with
parents and guardian support. The goal is to increase school attendance, reduce recidivism, positive
behavior change, and provide direct treatment referrals for youth and families when needed. The Next
Step Diversion Program activities include a variety of protective factors, such as individual and/or group
educational workshops in combination with peer navigation and follow-up support. Youth who complete
the program can reduce a school suspension, which will ensure youth do not fall behind in schoolwork.
The program aims to 1) ensure youth have access to resources that build knowledge
and skills to support positive behavior change and 2) enhance and increase parents’, caregivers’, and
youth’s knowledge addressing substance harm. To achieve Aim 1, Next Step facilitates evidence-based
curriculum for adolescents. Workshops provide a preventive approach that addresses topics such as goal
setting, positive
communication, and substance prevention education. Next Step staff will then connect youth to other
support services and provide opportunities to strengthen protective factors. A successful diversion
program like Next Step engages parents, caregivers, and community members to provide additional
support. Aim 2 enhances community education and community outreach. CBI’s team will continue to
provide quarterly prevention-based presentations on subjects such as vaping, harmful effects of opioids,
and for the Chandler community.
CBI’s community education department been offering the Next Step Diversion Program in Gila County
since 2016 and in the Queen Creek Unified School District since 2019. With both school districts where
the program is established there is an option for parents to choose the out of school suspension and not
attend the evening weekly classes. During the years of conducting the diversion program almost 80% of
parents and guardians choose to opt-in program courses. Youth who are referred into the program on
average 90% successfully complete and attend all classes. In the 4.5 years of running the program with
Queen Creek Unified School District 300 students have gone through the program with a successful
completion. Throughout the years of running the program in Gila County there has been 95% of
adolescents with a non-reoffender rate. Chandler Unified School district currently does not have a
diversion program put in place for students who commit a minor substance related offense, Next Step will
fulfill a great need for the school district Junior and High school population with a current enrollment rate
of 24,145 students. Beginning the 2024-2025 school year diversion programming will be piloted to two of
the largest high schools within the district. With the goal by the end of the school year opening it to all
junior and high school students. Programming is first set to take place in August of 2024 at Hamilton
High School serving a population size of approximately 3,900 students.

numbers of substance related offenses and how many teens will be participating in the program. Within
smaller school district diversion is implemented the completion rate is 65-75 students annually. CBI plans
to still strive to maintain year 1 goal of reaching 500 teens and 250 adults with prevention-based
education and Narcan training.
TARGET POPULATION & SERVICE AREA
The target population and service will remain the same as the year one.
Outcomes
In the second year of funding, CBI anticipates the following outcomes from the services it offers:
•
Youth have increased knowledge of the risks involved with substance use, and youth have
increased resilience and strong protective factors against substance use or developing a
substance use disorder.
•
Youth who complete the program will have a 5% increase in knowledge gain of the harmful
consequences of substances.
•
Parents and guardians who attend the classes with the youth will have a 5% increase in
knowledge gained on protective factors, and confidence in communicating with their youth about
substances and risky behaviors.
