trauma-informed space of trust and safety and by doing so, increasing the protective factors.  MCDPH 
support will sustain crucial occupancy expenses of programming space at the Arizona Center.  
 
This will accommodate our vision of a trauma-informed, harm reduction training, resource, and 
community healing and creative art center for learning. This site offers studio and creative learning 
spaces to implement prevention trainings and Positive Alternative activities.  The Resilient Youth & 
Trauma Informed Community Program, with MCDPH’s support, will continue and expand its current use 
of the following SAMHSA strategies:  Prevention Education, Community-based Processes, Positive 
Alternatives, Information Dissemination, Environmental, and Identification of Problem and Referral to 
Services.   In accordance with the SAMHSA Environmental strategy which addressees the settings and 
conditions in which people live, work, and socialize, the Environmental strategy shapes our prevention 
plans to successfully address risk and protective factors for substance use in youth.

management and administrative tasks of new services and contracted specialists will add to the 
expanded activities needed to support the program.

disorder.   
• 
Parents and caregivers have increased knowledge of the risks involved with substance use. 
• 
Parents and caregivers have increased knowledge and skills in building family norms (e.g. 
monitoring youth behavior, creating rules around substance use) that are protective against youth 
substance use and developing a substance use disorder.
