Expanding Family Support in NYS

We are so excited to share that we recently received a 12 month grant through Mother Cabrini Health Foundation which will allow us to expand our ITC Group offerings in New York State.

With this funding, we have established five locations in New York state in which we will offer our Invitation to Change group curriculum in 2024. Over the course of this year, we will be building local partnerships, undertaking community outreach, and providing free peer support to New York communities impacted by substance use.
