What the grant funds

The goal of the Youth Aftercare cooperative agreement is to help American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth achieve and sustain safety, sobriety, and long-term success after discharge from a Youth Regional Treatment Center (YRTC). The program strengthens culturally appropriate, community-based aftercare services by improving care coordination, building partnerships across the continuum of care, and enhancing YRTC capacity to address barriers, support effective case management, and improve outcomes for youth.
