Community Wellness for all ages!

Not only do our Prevention Education teams work in school settings, but we also offer community wellness for all ages!  These programs are geared toward various age groups and environments to offer learning opportunities for individuals or groups.

Team Awareness Workplace Wellness (TAWW)

Dear Leadership and Management Teams! Over the last few years, we have all had to readjust how we care for ourselves, our families, and our teams. Although we are moving forward, there is a lot to still navigate through.

Have you seen an increase with:

      • Employee stress, anxiety, and burnout?
      • Staff turnover rates and hiring challenges?
      • Productivity concerns?

Over the last few months, we’ve been hard at work, creating a wellness program that may help to promote healthier team members in your business or organization! This program seeks to improve well-being in the workplace, including mental, physical, and financial health, as well as support workplace leaders and managers in making the best decisions about these issues.

What we can help with:

      • Confidential business owner/leader discussions
      • Workshops for supervisors and employees
      • Presentations for coalition & community groups.

Positive Parenting Program (Triple P)

One thing that we know is that parenting is hard! It doesn’t come with a guidebook and sometimes there are struggles that can be difficult to navigate through. That is why the team at CASA-Trinity offers free Positive Parenting Programs! 

We provide a safe, judgement free area for you to learn about different styles of parenting that might be beneficial to your family. We rely on the expertise of trained facilitators and the experience that each parent/caregiver brings. Our conversations are informative, casual and considerate of different parenting styles work for different families.

Within the schools…

Having a dedicated Opioid Prevention Specialist allows us to provide programming in schools using evidence-based opioid prevention curriculums, develop youth-based programming and partner with our local coalition around Opioids and Drug Take Back events, and provide free Narcan trainings and kits to staff and community partners.

Within the community…

We will be providing free fentanyl test strips, DETERRA® Drug Deactivation Pouches, medication lock boxes, information on opioid overdoses and “Monitor, Secure, Dispose” materials, and installing Naloxboxes across the county stocked with Narcan. To assist families, we offer various support programming from those who are about to become parents to those with more complex concerns.

Prevention Trainings & Workshops
