YOR IV Project Name:Â San Ysidro Health Youth Access to Substance Use Disorder Services – 2 (YSUD2)
Project Description: San Ysidro Health, Youth Access to SUD Services Project, will provide comprehensive, age-appropriate and bilingual interventions including screening, referral to treatment, case management, outreach, harm reduction education, group, and individual counseling as well as family education on the dangers of fentanyl use and risk of overdose.
The team’s goal is to better address the specific needs of youth and young adults and diversify the range of health care settings that can serve as an access point for youth to receive evidence-based treatment for substance use. Most services will be provided both in person and via telehealth in order to accommodate the busy schedules of patients and their families.
The project also aims to reduce opioid and stimulant misuse and overdose incidence by promoting education, advocacy, and culture change. It aims to reduce stigma, increase awareness of overdose response strategies, and increase availability of naloxone in the community.
