Grant Description

Cooperative agreement to a USA or territories nonprofit or for-profit organization, Tribe, or IHE for a peer recovery coach program for substance abuse. Applicants are advised that required registrations must be completed prior to applying. Funding is intended to support children, youth, and families who have suffered victimizations as a result of a family member’s or caregiver’s substance use disorder by recruiting, training, and certifying peer recovery coaches who have lived experience. The program will result in a peer recovery coach paraprofessional program.

OVC seeks to fund one lead organization that will (1) competitively select and fund subawards to recruit, train, and deploy paid peer recovery coaches who will assist a family member or caregiver’s recovery from substance misuse in order to support the well-being of youth who have experienced victimization as a result of the drug use; (2) provide technical assistance to the selected subawardees; and (3) assist in the development of a peer recovery coach paraprofessional program. By promoting recovery through a peer recovery coaching model, this program will support children, youth, and families, including kinship families and grandfamilies, who have been victimized by neglect, abuse, or violence because of a family member or caregiver's drug use.

Objectives:

Develop a peer recovery coach-oriented workforce/paraprofessional program that successfully integrates recovery support services and supports individuals’ efforts to initiate and sustain their recovery.
Ensure culturally responsive service provision, equity, and justice. Specific efforts should be made to reach out to and serve marginalized and historically underserved populations.
Enhance knowledge and build the capacity of peer recovery coaches to serve this population more effectively.
Use the key dimensions of recovery-oriented services (health, home, purpose, and community), as well as any new federal model standards for youth, family, and adult peer support.
Build collaborative arrangements with other organizations or partners to guarantee program success.
Provide services in non-treatment settings where appropriate.
