Mathewson Early Prevention Program (MEPP)
In 2016, TYR initiated the Mathewson Early Prevention Program (MEPP) to develop a research-driven, solutions-based prevention framework for communities in the U.S. The program aims to build community capacity for substance misuse prevention, early intervention, and recovery support programs and services for youth and their families. This multi-year initiative is being piloted in Washoe County, Nevada and data will inform new research on capacity-building methods for substance misuse prevention efforts and related asset models for early intervention and family support services.
