SUMMARY:Partner Event | Region 6 Department of Family & Protective Services
DESCRIPTION:Phoenix House Texas is grateful to be partnering with the Region 6 Department of Family & Protective Services where PHT’s CEO\, Drew Dutton\, M.Ed.\, MBA\, MAPP\, LPC-S\, LCDC\, ACPS\, will be presenting Project Empathy: Reframing Addiction Through Neuroscience and Positive Psychology. \nProject Empathy is a research-informed\, interactive workshop that reframes adolescent addiction through the lens of neuroscience\, development\, and connection. The session breaks down how the teenage brain processes reward\, stress\, and decision-making—offering a clear explanation for why adolescents are uniquely wired for risk\, bonding\, and rapid learning. Participants explore how dopamine\, impulse control\, and prefrontal cortex development influence substance use patterns and recovery potential. Instead of relying on fear-based or punitive strategies\, the workshop demonstrates how empathy and strengths-based communication interrupt shame and increase buy-in. Attendees learn practical ways to use accurate empathy\, clarity\, and modeling to keep adolescents engaged\, even when they appear resistant or ambivalent. The session also challenges common misconceptions in youth treatment\, highlighting how outdated models can unintentionally reinforce stigma and shut down communication. Real examples illustrate how to translate brain science into conversations that parents\, schools\, and youth can actually understand. By the end\, participants will have a developmentally informed framework for supporting adolescents that emphasizes possibility\, relationship\, and long-term resilience.

SUMMARY:Partner Event | Dual Realities; One Response Summit
DESCRIPTION:Join our Community Partner organization\, Harris County Public Health\, for the Dual Realities; One Response Summit on Wednesday\, July 22\, 2026 from 9 AM – 2:30 PM in Houston\, Texas. \nFor too many people\, substance use and mental health are treated as separate problems—even when they show up together in the same person\, at the same time. The result is fragmented care\, missed opportunities\, and outcomes that fall short of what’s possible. This event is dedicated to changing that. It brings together behavioral health professionals\, community partners\, advocates\, and individuals with lived experience to confront the intersection of substance use and mental health head-on. Together\, we’ll explore practical strategies for integrating care\, strengthening cross-system collaboration\, and advancing recovery-oriented\, person-centered responses to co-occurring disorders. This event will focus on what it takes to reduce stigma\, elevate lived experience\, and build coordinated approaches that improve access\, engagement\, and outcomes — not in theory\, but in the day-to-day work of the systems that serve our communities. \nPlease visit the event page on Harris County Public Health’s website for more information and to register.
