Georgia THRIVe Prevention (GTP) supports preventative services to address the challenges listed within the general population in conjunction with a prioritized subgroup of pregnant and parenting individuals including fathers and caregivers who may have detectable signs or symptoms foreshadowing mental, emotional, behavioral, or substance use disorders.
These individuals may also have challenges with certain social determinants of health including being medically underserved, socially marginalized, or having housing instability.
Program participants may experience intimate partner violence, depression, or traumatic stress therefore through screening and assessments eligibility will be determined, goals set, and linkage to services provided.
All parents can benefit from support from the birth of a child to the early years of a child’s life, especially if the parent(s) wrestle with growing concern for perinatal substance use.
Parent skills training, including prenatal monitoring, parental supportiveness, and parent-child communication is vital for the prevention and treatment of children’s substance-related emotional and behavioral problems.
In recognition of the needs of all families, a universal, early intervention parent support plan will be included as a part of the strategy to improve outcomes for families.
