TRP is a community coalition project that started during the COVID-19 pandemic with the goal of providing stress relieving activities (like embroidery, painting, and yoga) for community members who may have been struggling to cope with anxiety and social isolation. The Resiliency project has continued providing resources to the people of the Coastal Bend area in partnership with the Youth Programs department at the Coastal Bend Wellness Foundation. Renee Dobie (Project Coordinator) and Joshua De Leon (Coalition Specialist) sat down and explained what exactly they're able to do for the Coastal Bend area, and even provided some stress relieving activities at the end of the episode!

This episode was brought to you by a collaboration between Project Turnaround of CBWF and the Council of Alcohol and Drug Abuse of the Coastal Bend.

Join your host, Corey Johnson with the youth recovery team supervisor, Roxanne Nunez, and the community relations manager, Kalynn Thompson, from COADA-CB. This episode explores the importance of having positive alternatives to Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs (ATOD). The council has a youth recovery team that coordinates community outings and activities for the families engaged in their program in an effort to promote healthier lifestyles. Similar to Project Turnaround, COADA aims to improve the quality of life in the Coastal Bend for youth, adults, and families as a whole by educating on alcohol and substance misuse, mental health, decision making and more.

It is our hope that this episode can help you better understand what positive alternative activities are and how to use them to your advantage! Lets break the stigma on alcohol and substance misuse so that we can begin having informed discussions on how they can impact our quality of life!
