The University of Oregon has been awarded a five-year, $3.7 million to establish a substance abuse program for three tribes.

The Adolescent Transitions Program will serve the Warm Springs Tribes of Oregon, the Klamath Tribes of Oregon, and the Confederated Colville Tribes of Washington. It will provide 300 families with parenting support services to stop substance abuse among Native youth.

The university's Child and Family Center plans to work closely with each tribe to develop culturally appropriate services.
