BSCTC’s Adult Education Program THRIVEs in the Fiscal Year

The THRIVE program, standing for Treatment Healing and Recovery with Integration of Vocation and Education, represents a groundbreaking initiative within Frontier Behavioral Health, emphasizing comprehensive support for individuals on their journey to recovery. This partnership, which developed almost two years ago between Frontier Behavioral Health and Kentucky Adult Education, includes opportunities for community partners to contribute to the success of our participants. Central to THRIVE is its integration of vocational and educational opportunities. To date, this partnership has contributed to 20 GED graduates, 105 KESC, 96 Financial Literacy, 68 Digital Literacy, and 94 transitions to Post Secondary Training for the residents of the surrounding counties.

Education within THRIVE begins with foundational support through Kentucky Adult Education, which offers GED preparation, Kentucky Essential Skills, Financial Literacy, Digital Literacy, and Ready for Industry Certifications. These programs enable participants to earn their high school equivalency diplomas, providing a crucial first step toward broader educational and career opportunities. By equipping individuals with essential academic credentials, THRIVE enhances their self-esteem and opens doors to further educational pursuits. These components are crucial in empowering participants with the skills and knowledge necessary for sustained rehabilitation and successful reintegration into society.
