The practical question
Listen, map, assign, and verify before rollout.
Use this page as a controlled working guide. Adapt language and activities to the population, verify local resources, assign ownership, and preserve the clinical and life-safety boundaries described throughout the model.

SEC-14Map what exists, what is reachable, and what is merely listed
A directory is not a network. The resource map must distinguish a service that technically exists from one that is accessible, accepting referrals, culturally responsive, financially reachable, and capable of completing the next step.
| Resource type | Examples | Verification questions |
|---|---|---|
| Trusted gathering places | Schools, recreation centers, libraries, barbershops, salons, neighborhood hubs, clubs, sports facilities, community rooms | Who uses the space? When is it open? Is it physically and psychologically safe? |
| Prevention and youth development | After-school programs, mentoring, sports, arts, leadership, summer programming, family education | Who is eligible? What are the hours, cost, transportation, ratios, and safeguards? |
| Behavioral health | Assessment, outpatient, IOP, PHP, crisis, psychiatry, SUD treatment, youth services, family treatment | What population, insurance, wait time, intake process, and clinical exclusions apply? |
| Peer and recovery support | Peer clubs, mutual-aid options, family recovery, recovery community organizations, reentry supports | Is support available at the hours people actually need it? How is peer scope protected? |
| Basic needs and stability | Housing, food, benefits, IDs, transportation, legal aid, employment, child care, medical and dental care | Can the person complete the application? Who helps overcome the barrier? |
| Emergency and safety | 988, 911, mobile crisis, emergency departments, child/adult protective services, domestic violence, trafficking, poison control | What triggers use? What information must staff collect? Who documents and follows up? |
