🔗 Breaking the Cycle: Early Intervention Saves Lives 🔗 This National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, we’re focusing on the power of early intervention. Addressing substance use issues early can make all the difference in a young person’s life. At BHI, our programs are designed to identify at-risk behaviors, provide support, and guide youth toward healthier choices before addiction takes hold. Together, we can prevent substance use and create brighter futures for our community’s youth. 💙 #Substanceuse #Massachusetts #CapeCod #BHI #CapeCodCommunity #behavioralheatlh #teensubstanceuse #capeandislands #teenrecovery

🎙️ Real Stories, Real Struggles 🎙️ In this powerful moment, Melvin shares what he would say to kids who are struggling: "You don’t know what you’re in for. You don’t realize you’re playing with fire right now. You don’t want to go down this road, you really don’t." His words are a reminder of the dangers of substance use and the importance of seeking help early. At BHI, we’re here to support those facing these challenges, guiding them toward healthier choices and brighter futures. 💙 #RealStories #SubstanceAbuseAwareness #BHI #CapeCodCommunity #teensubstanceuse #capeandislands #teenrecovery

On September 25th, BHI was honored to host an information table at the inspiring Chris Herren talk at Barnstable High School, where his powerful message of hope and recovery resonated with hundreds.

📢 Exciting News: Launching Our Middle School PASS Program! 📢 School administrators have spoken, and BHI is stepping up to meet the need! After the success of our two-year-old Positive Alternatives for Student Support (PASS) Program for high school students, we are thrilled to announce a new Middle School PASS Program. This initiative will allow us to reach students even earlier and provide them with the support they need. Starting with five schools, the program will be held at the YMCA in Barnstable. Currently, twelve school systems are referring students to the high school PASS program in Centerville, and we’re excited to extend this opportunity to younger students as well. 💙 For teens struggling with substance use, don’t forget about our Alternative Peer Group (APG), a 6-month program designed for Cape Cod teens aged 13-17. The program meets twice weekly in Dennis and Falmouth and offers crucial support for those facing substance use challenges.

Sharing Kindness joined us a couple of weeks ago at our Real Talk event to promote their latest programming on the Cape and Islands, Hope Squad! Hope Squad is a peer-to-peer suicide prevention program that aims to reduce youth suicide through education, training, and peer intervention. Sharing Kindness provides funding, support, and oversight for Cape & Islands schools that choose to start their own Hope Squads. We were thrilled to have them and spread the message about their programming. #Substanceuse #Massachusetts #CapeCod #BHI #CapeCodCommunity #behavioralheatlh #teensubstanceuse #capeandislands #teenrecovery

Briody, was joined by Molly O’Neil, a passionate advocate and parent of two college students whose father sadly took his own life, and Emily Abbott, Quell’s Development Director and one of the first recipients of a Quell scholarship in the mental health field.
