Serving Children and Adolescents in Need (SCAN), a provider of prevention and treatment services, is implementing its peer services project, Futuros Saludables, in Webb County, Texas. The county abuts the Texas-Mexico border, and illicit drugs are easily available. Many residents of Webb County live in poverty, and a large population of minimally acculturated Mexican-Americans do not speak English. Compounding these risk factors, the area has only limited treatment services. Futuros Saluables trains culturally appropriate peer leaders to serve as peer mentors or coaches for adults and adolescents seeking recovery, conduct life and job skills and wellness trainings, and create community events that strengthen the connection between individuals seeking recovery and the larger community of recovering people and their families.
