As Christmas approaches, they discover that their new partners are siblings, and both of them have been invited to stay with the family for the holidays.

Check Out Our New Resource Corner!
High Point Prevention Services and Carver Cares are organizations that work with the community to prevent underage substance misuse and promote positive mental health. We have teamed up with the Carver Public Library to provide the community of Carver a free resource corner. This resource corner, located to the left of the front desk, has paper resources for teens and caregivers surrounding the topics of vaping, alcohol, Zyn and other oral nicotine pouches, marijuana, how to talk to teens about substances, and our youth mental health resource guide book. This resource lists all the youth serving mental health centers in the Plymouth and Bristol counties, detailing where the services are located, what they offer, and a contact number. Additionally, you can find a selection of books for children and adults which talk about addiction, mental health, and the opioid crisis. 
 
If you are interested in learning more about what High Point Prevention Services and Carver Cares does, or have any questions please visit our Facebook page Carver Cares, or our Instagram page @plymouth_area_prevention,  or contact us at carvercares@gmail.com.
