Educational Alliance’s Center for Recovery and Wellness Awarded $2.71 Million Federal Grant for Project ENTER  

NEW YORK, NY – Educational Alliance’s Center for Recovery and Wellness is proud to announce it has been awarded a five-year, $2.71 million grant from the federal government’s Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) for the development and implementation of Project ENTER (Engaging in Needed Treatment and Empowering Recovery) based on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. The program, which the federal government has recognized as a project of regional and national significance, will break down silos, remove barriers, and innovate the way New York City’s most vulnerable youth are identified and connected to effective substance use disorders (SUD) services and supports. The Center for Recovery and Wellness is the only organization in Lower Manhattan to receive this federal grant.

Marisa R. Client Q&A 

Marisa R. first enrolled in CRW’s Pride Site residential program during the beginning of COVID in the spring of 2020. While the first time around Marisa left after a couple of months, she re-enrolled in August 2022 and has been going strong in her recovery since then. She recently completed the rehabilitation level of care and is now enrolled in re-integration, where clients continue to live on-site but are enrolled in the Project Contact outpatient program. We are excited to announce she just started working as a Certified Peer Recovery Advocate (CPRA)! For this Q&A, she was kind enough to share with us about her experiences in recovery and beginning to work as a peer.

CRW PEER TRAINING INSTITUTE PROGRAM FEATURE

CRW is committed to expanding access to professional development opportunities for our community, and that goal is exemplified by our Peer Training Institute. For this article, Keithie Lawrence (Director of Recovery Services) shared with us about his experience facilitating trainings to educate the next generation of CRPA’s (Certified Peer Recovery Advocates). You will also hear from Andres Gomez (pictured on the left), a former client of our recovery programs who went through the Peer Training Institute and is now working as a fully fledged CPRA for our parter organization Lower East Side Service Center.
