SoAP Box: 
Show and Tell

Summer 2024

The Initiative for Justice and Emerging Adult Populations (JEAP) is a project funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (R24DA051950) that aims to advance research on the effectiveness of peer recovery supports and recovery residences for emerging adults and justice-involved adults with substance use disorder. We currently have three new products/resources on the topic of lived experience.
