Youth & Caregiver Resource Center
Training, Education, and Resources

Prevention First’s Youth and Caregiver Resource Center (YCRC) develops and distributes healing-centered resources for families impacted by parental substance use and incarceration. We believe that families play a vital role in their own healing and can act as change agents within their communities to create systems of care and disrupt cycles of intergenerational trauma.
